When I Visualize I Hear And I See Poem by Francis Duggan

When I visualize I hear and I see
A lovely cock robin on a silver birch tree
Singing with his orange feathered breast puffed out in the wind and the rain
In my flights of fancy I am back home again
The sun shines through the rain clouds on a blustery day
And the hawthorns cloaked in their white blooms of the May
The swallows above the fields fly to and fro
And nesting birds chirp and sing on the hedgerow
'Tis not very hard at all to visualize
'Tis easier than some even seem to realize
The contented cattle grazing the lush grass of the Spring
And in the babbling river the dipper does sing
And the old fields bedecked in their wildering flowers
That came into bloom in the thundery showers.
