"Bird!" I cried, ere thou departest, though of birds thou'rt not the smartest,
Tell me, tell me, shall an artist thy spoiled plumage yet restore,
And in magazine or journal shall I write, thou bird nocturnal,
Of the deed this beast infernal has committed at my door?
Shall thy epitaph be written, for I'm skilled in rhyming lore!"
But the owl groaned "I'm no more."
