Bird talk . Aileen Fisher

«Think…» said the Robin,

«Think…» said the Jay,

sitting in the garden,

talking one day,

Think about people-

The way they grow

They don’t have feathers

At all you know

They don’t eat beetles,

They don’t grow wings,

They don’t like sitting

On wires and things

«Think!» said the Robin.

«Think!» said the Jay.

«Aren’t people funny

To be that way?» .

Words :

Robin - малиновка

Jay - сойка

Feather - перо (птичье)

Beetle - жук

Wire - провод.

Swimming. C. Scollard

When all the days are hot and long

And robin bird has ceased his song,

I go swimming every day

And have the finest kind of play.

I’ve learned to dive and I can float

As easily as does a boat,

I splash and plunge and laugh and shout

Till daddy tells me to come out.

It’s much too soon; I’d like to cry

For I can see the ducks go by

And Daddy Duck- how I love him-

He lets his children swim and swim.

I feel that I would be in luck

If I could only be a duck.

Words :

Robin bird has ceased - малиновка прекратила, перестала

To dive and float - нырять и плавать

I splash and plunge - я брызгаюсь и окунаюсь

If I could only - если бы я только был.

A Minor Bird. Robert Frost

I have wished a bird would fly away;

And no sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door

When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault was partly have been in me

The bird was not to blame for his key.

And of course there must be something wrong

In wanting to silence any song.

To clap - хлопать

To bear - вынести, вытерпеть

A key - ключ(муз), тональность, нота

Fault - вина
