Living in Sweden, I was traversing a large city lawn, And to my astonishment several (Mongolian--their origin!) pheasants grazed. I knew my birds and which had been introduced where, But this unexpected visual gave me a start-- A start--manifested in this poem--that would never leave me: Pheasants calmly grazing on a Swedish lawn! Does Uppsala really glory in all of its inhabitants?
