Analysis of The goldflinch.
Till the end of the night,
the earth was painted with black & silver colours
but when the sun appeared
the earth was again painted with gold flares.
The fruits were turned into gold.
The tree leaves were smeared with gold.
I found smelting gold
on the rippling water of the pond.
Suddenly I found a goldflinch
with yellow breast.
It was singing in high pitch.
I hardly could compare
the yellow flares of the Sun
with the yellow breasted goldflinch
which I found very rare.
