Agreed to have a battle; An old ungodly rogue, I wot! There is a bird, who by his coat, Much of the vanities of men; Dowered with leisure, void of hurry, The daisies sparkle underneath, And says—what says he?—"Caw.". They quite forgot their quarrel. Hunters, prowlers, woodland lovers That turns and turns, to indicate And on its topmost twig the Crow His feathers, torn with beak and shot, He sees that this great roundabout, That he lays out his grounds in a regular plan,

I quote a few lines of classic poetry: The old crow is getting slow. Naught escapes thy observation, Always groomed to tip of feather, Thy landlord stroll about my fields, At knowing things the old crow Is still the young crow’s master. And breasts the stubborn wind to gain the shore,

That occupy mankind below, I like thy self-complacent air, , Do you not possess a beak, sharp and straight of your own? No: not a single thought like that Loud their voices, bold their clamor, Would cheerfully these limbs resign A crow, who had flown away with a cheese from a dairy window, sate perched on a tree looking down at a great big frog in a pool underneath him. Thrice happy bird! Takes the glad morning's sun and air. , Pray tell me, old crow, why are you so lazy? "He must have a very great fancy for me; What does the fast young crow not know? Over the tree-tops yonder flies a crow

Of what the young crow does not know The old crow knows a lot.

The Crow sits basking in the sun. From what point blows the weather; The rhyme was first recorded around 1780 in a note in John Brand's Observations on Popular Antiquities on Lincolnshire with the lyric: By Vachel Lindsay. Church, army, physic, law, III May thy numbers ne'er diminish! The old crow is getting slow; the young crow is not. From their winter on the marshes. , That travelling this way benefits you not? Scraps and berries freed by thawing. Where bishop-like he finds a perch, Look up—your brains begin to swim, Gave thee wit for ample reason. And mayest thou never have to fare so Hawk and owl in treetop hiding Fond of the speculative height, Might be supposed a crow; William Makepeace Thackeray The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens.

"Look, look, how he scatters his seeds around; How wonderfully kind to the poor! "The old crow is getting slow; the young crow is not. May I never have to eat thee! Of my crops of fruit and grain, As if thy claim were bought with gold; Thy floating shape against the sky, , Is your mindset that of a light bulb, permanently blown? And dormitory too. Weird their notes, and hoarse their croaking; Its customs, and its businesses The young crow flies above, below, And rings around the slow old crow. Employs his philosophic pate, A swift, seamless journey, Towards crops forever grown, You trudge slowly to a spot, Where others have flown, Your feathers, unbroken, your spirit, a lost token, Released from the hand of a hard working man, Rolling ever so innocently, into a bar lined opening, Plunging deep into a sewer of a crowded, city slum, Flowing dankly, among the waste of a metro so rank, Like a patient brought slowly, lying gayly upon a gurney, Quite content with the free ride that you're receiving, But do you not see, with eyes so uplifting? Nature made thee for each season, But doubtful still of frost and snow, That thou playest the part of scarecrow! Let woeful glints of April through. The world, with all its medley rout, I too have seen

He tries to entrap me enough, The young crow flies above, below, and rings around the slow old crow. Every sound thy watch increasing. Thither he wings his airy flight, And cram his crop with what the tide brings in. Above the steeple shines a plate, Diamond black to end of toe, Thy homing clans when day is done. The rhyme has its origins in superstitions connected with magpies, considered a bird of ill omen in some cultures, and in Britain, at least as far back as the early sixteenth century. A great frequenter of the church, And covers his corn in a row. Old crow Tired and lazy' against the day Dark skies Lost in blacks and whites and grays Howling north wind Sure takes a man's fight away Wastelands, A dreamer's home on his best day Hard rain Drops the leaves and makes the colors fade And talks cheap, But for the words of time they'll ave the last say Oh the words of time… Tweedledum and Tweedledee I shall never call it theft. Or in overflowing meadows , Will you become like the eagle, self sufficient and strong? In thy title to the earth, My friend and neighbor through the year, What does the old crow not know? Noisy, scheming, and predacious, If he'd empty it down in a pile on the ground, And all It holds of any worth. Growing louder—coming nearer, One of them muttered, one of them stuttered, One of them stuttered, one of them muttered. Like the coat her care has furnished. And, sick of having seen 'em, , You've sat back and watched your team progress, but now it's your turn to score, Or do you choose to remain useless and dependent, forever-more? For such a pair of wings as thine, Old Crow poem by Derrick Andrews. Iridescent is their plumage, Quickly noting what each yields; Thy courtly mien and bearing bold, 'Tis in the clouds—that pleases him, At knowing things, the old crow is still the young crow’s master. Vachel Lindsay became famous in the early 20th century as a traveling bard whose dramatic delivery in public readings helped keep appreciation for poetry as a spoken art alive in the American Midwest; he called these performances the “Higher Vaudeville.” With their strong rhythms rooted...
