Hark, where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedgeAppropriately, I suppose, the looming face is that of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Less appropriately, the "thrush" is actually a Redwing. Well, you have to work with what you've got.
Leans to the field and scatters on the clover
Blossoms and dewdrops—at the bent spray's edge—
That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!
Robert Browning, from "Home-Thoughts, from Abroad"

Great picture. Pity it got spoilt by the paint running.
Zouk,
Yes, sadly true, I'm clearly not in complete control of my materials...
