A poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The death of the Starling
The death of the Starling Lugete, O Veneres, Cupidinesque.--CATULLUS. Pity! mourn in plaintive tone The lovely starling dead and gone! Pity mourns in plaintive tone The lovely starling dead and gone. Weep, ye Loves! and Venus! weep The lovely starling fall'n asleep! Venus sees with tearful eyes-- In her lap the starling lies! While the Loves all in a ring Softly stroke the stiffen'd wing. -THE END- Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: The death of the Starling GO TO TOP OF SCREEN
