Charlie Chaplin

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Quite at rest

Quite empty, quite at rest,

The Robin locks her Nest, and tries her Wings.
She does not know a Route

But puts her Craft about

For rumored Springs

She does not ask for Noon

She does not ask for Boon,

Crumbless and homeless, of but one request

The Birds she lost
