6. Pigeon, by : Lilian Moore
Burung Dara, oleh : Lilian Moore
Pigeon are city folk Content To live with concrete And cement They seldom Try The sky A pigeon never sings Of hill And flowering hedge But busily commutes From sidewalk To his ledge Oh Pigeon what waste of wings!
Burung dara seperti orang kota Yang puas Hidup dengan bangunan semen Mereka jarang Mencoba pergi ke luar Seekor burung dara tidak pernah menyanyi Tentang gunung Dan berbunga di antara semak-semak. Tetapi sibuk berjalan Dari pinggir jalan Ke pinggiran Oh burung dara, sayap yang sia-sia!
