Fast And Beautiful

My wings are fast

My body is small

I am the fastest of us all

I live on insects

And very sweet nectar

If you will feed me

I will never be far

I am a birdwatcher's

Great joy and pride

Please won't you leave me

Some nectar outside

I hereby promise

That if you do

I shall become

A joy to you

If you have not figured

Me out just yet

I am a hummingbird

You won't soon forget

And as I have said

Leave some nectar for me

And I make this promise

That soon you'll see

What an absolute pleasure

I can truly be
