Old Spring House

Do you ever wonder where the birds go

When they fly away on a very hot summer day?

There’s a little spot, not too far,

That invited me to explore.

Long ago, our fore-families decided to domesticate a wild spring.

They built a house over the spring to keep out the leaves.

Somehow the non-native Norway spruce grew up all around.

Now, long abandoned by humans, 

The critters come here on that ninety-five-degree day

To a refuge made perfect for their play.
