By water’s edge, in shadows deep,

A feathered watch, a patient keep.

With suit of black and belly white,

It darts and flits in morning light.

 

A tail that wags, a call that sings,

This little bird with open wings

Launches quick on fearless flight,

A dance in air, so deft and light.

 

It skims the stream and snaps the fly,

An acrobat beneath the sky.

In quiet pools and river bends,

The Black Phoebe lives, ascends.

 

In hidden coves, it builds with care,

A mud-lined nest in cool, still air.

And through the seasons, lone and free,

It sings its soft, sharp melody.
