Something Like A Bird Within Her Sang


Grateful Dead: Bird Song ...9/17/72



...6/22/73



...the wind had dropped,
and the snow, tired of
rushing around in circles
trying to catch itself up,
now fluttered gently down
until it found a place
on which to rest,
and sometimes the place
was Pooh's nose
and sometimes it wasn't
and in a little while
Piglet was wearing
a white muffler
round his neck
and feeling more snowy
behind the ears
than he had ever felt before.

--A. A. Milne
The House at Pooh Corner
