Oh little bird,

Gliding to the blossom

Like a whisper of the wind.

Where are you from?

Where are you going?

You grace our day

With your flight of mystery.

"Have you ever observed a humming-bird moving about in an aerial dance among the flowers - a living prismatic gem.... it is a creature of such fairy-like loveliness as to mock all description."

"A flash of harmless lightning,
  A mist of rainbow dyes,
    The burnished sunbeams brightening
      From flower to flower he flies."
