What puzzle's this?
Bird in nest?
Place it there
Sort the rest—
Jumbled stars
Eyes of grace,
Sisters seven
Roll in place,
Red the robin's
Curving breast,
White the water
Crystal's nest,
Blue the oceans
Trees are green
Beaks of eagles
Pick and preen,
Thunder rolling
Clouds descend,
Who is left
When puzzles end?
Who is this
To melt the rocks,
Replace the pieces
In their box?
