In the bewitched aviary.

The sonnet according to Mr. Shakespeare


Helots muse about moony Golden Fleece of the condor.

Drudges think of the dreamy eternal dew of the hen.

Philosophers ponder on winged fantasy of the crow

Kings ruminate on a picturesque gold of the jay


Priests contemplate the dreamed, soft, meek weird of the woodpecker.

Masters daydream about nice marvelous songs of the tern.

Soothsayers dream of fulfilled gold of the yellowhammer.  

Knights philosophize about poetic dawn of the wren


Hoplites fantasize about a red sky of the sparrow.

Athletes describe the most tender treasure-charm of the snipe

Gods remember an enchanted, dear temple of the seagull

Goddesses recall fairytale-like heroes of the kite.


Poets commemorate the elves-like heaven of the owl.

Bards reflect on most amazing dreamery of the rook


soothsayers – fortuneteller 

weird - archaic fate
