from the top of the pine
a thrush
till black night
***
du haut du pin
une grive musicienne
jusqu'à la nuit noire

Damien, I'm wondering why you left "musicienne" untranslated (or, alternatively, why you included it in the French).

Enjoyed.

Beautiful, Damien.

In case anyone else was wondering, "grive musicienne" is the name of a species (turdus philomela). The English equivalent would be "song thrush," but the bird itself is European. The only species of turdus inhabiting North America is the American robin. Haiku is a learning experience.
