Description
The chaffinch is from the family of sparrows.
Here is a verse from a Sweet little Danish ditty, maybe kind of lullaby. I have translated the best I could. I havent tried to make it rime.
Sparrow silent behind the twig;
indeed, the snow is drifting.
The willow whistles sadly
from the north winds bursts
Lul-lul! spinning wheel goes
steadily in mother's room,
and the more the wind blows,
the more the fireplace flames.
In Danish:
Spurven sidder stum bag kvist;
såmænd, om ej det fyger
Kålgårdspilen piber trist
for nordenblæstens byger
Lul-lul! rokken går
støt i moders stue,
og jo mere vinden slår,
des mer får arnen lue.
Writer, Jeppe Aakjær, 1906.
Composer, Carl Nielsen, 1926 ...
Have a beautiful day.
We had sun all day, and so I was able to actually paint, which I did. I almost finnished a Landscape. Maybe it needs a few adjustments.
Thank you for your always welcome viewing, commenting and fav to my previous post. :-)

The poem works really well in English and the photo is beautiful too. They go well together!

Ooo! What a nicely "fuzzy" bird! The colors and the mood are perfect together! The photo is absolutely gorgeous! The poem in both English and the original Danish are a perfect compliment to the image too. I love images and text working together, and so this is a treat to me. This is really beautiful and the poem gives it a nice, friendly feeling.

A lovely capture of this chaffinch, he looks as though he is feeling the cold. I'm glad you have had some sunshine so that you could paint.
