Home, never a paying-guest inn,
It welcomes you in— right within
Whenever you want to come in;
I want to build one so renowned,
Which, we the wings do on our own,
One, simple and natural-built—
Never so posh, nor built by guilt,
Its labour as supplied by bone,
And design we wings' very own,
Here, building material I fetch,
On whose bed, hope, my chicks will hatch.

I would like to translate this poem
What a wonderful description of the home of a flycatcher.Even better than other politician's home which is built by corruption. A well crafted and expressed Rhyme Royal. Cleverly written. Onto my Poem List.
