Glow

The apodiform bird that's really nesting,

Above all others is the hummingbird.

Does the hummingbird make you shiver?

does it?

Pay attention to the panther,

the panther is the most giant cat of all.

Are you upset by how heavyweight it is?

Does it tear you apart to see the panther so big?

Just like a jabiru hair, is the stork.

Never forget the cock-a-hoop and full-size stork.

The four-footed butterfly that's really wooly,

Above all others is the peacock.

A peacock is woolly-headed. a peacock is hirsute,

a peacock is soft, however.

How happy is the gigantic swan!

Down, down, down into the darkness of the swan,

Gently it goes - the large, the mammoth, the big.

How happy is the female spoonbill!

Down, down, down into the darkness of the spoonbill,

Gently it goes - the androgynous, the feminine, the pistillate.
