Joe Pug - Hymn #101

A poem by Katherine Mansfield accompanied by original background piano music:

"When I was a Bird"

***

I climbed up the karaka tree
Into a nest all made of leaves
But soft as feathers.
I made up a song that went on singing all by itself
And hadn't any words, but got sad at the end.
There were daisies in the grass under the tree.
I said just to try them:
"I'll bite off your heads and give them to my little
children to eat."
But they didn't believe I was a bird;
They stayed quite open.
The sky was like a blue nest with white feathers
And the sun was the mother bird keeping it warm.
That's what my song said: though it hadn't any words.
Little Brother came up the patch, wheeling his barrow.
I made my dress into wings and kept very quiet.
Then when he was quite near I said: "Sweet, sweet!"
For a moment he looked quite startled;
Then he said: "Pooh, you're not a bird; I can see
your legs."
But the daisies didn't really matter,
And Little Brother didn't really matter;
I felt just like a bird.


Analysis of the poem (excluding the background music):

Through vivid imagery and lyrical language, the poem evokes the exhilaration of flight and the connection with nature. Themes of liberation, transformation, and the beauty of the natural world are prominent, highlighting the contrast between human limitations and the boundless experience of being a bird. Mansfield's portrayal celebrates the transcendent and liberating power of imagination.
