When Darwin, Margaret Agnes Rope and St Cecilia met a bird,
It all looks like you were the Moqueur Polyglotte:
In his notes, in her cartoon, in her composition, on my screen.
Your mimicking of all other birds' songs,
Your feathers and size feared or respected by many,
You are today a morning companion to the three above or with me.
All on my desk for research.
Joy in Darwin's birth town?
Joy for Marga's town?
Joy in St Cecilia's voice?
