The herons on Bo Island stand solemnly all day, Like lean old men together they hump their shoulders grey; Oh! I wish I could get near them to hear the things they say. They turn up their coat collars and stand so gloriously, And sol'leho;r as I watch them it always seems to me, That in their t!'ouser pockets their wrinkled heads must be. But if I venture near them they look at me in doubt, And ,,~ith great wings loose-flapping they circle round about, Their long legs hanging dotmHar<.ls, their slim necks all stretched If I stood on Bo Islnnd as gloomily as they, out. And ruffled up my collar and hid my hands away, It mieht be they Hould join me and I'd hear the things they say. Ie Elizabeth Shane.
