Ralph Hodgson (9 September 1871 – 3 November 1962)
Poems by Ralph Hodgson : 14 / 27
The Birdcatcher
When flighting time is on I go
With clap-net and decoy,
A-fowling after goldfinches
And other birds of joy;
I lurk among the thickets of
The Heart where they are bred,
And catch the twittering beauties as
They fly into my Head.
