Eulogy for the Regal Sage Grouse : Requiem for the Miraculous Fowl

In mournful dirges we bemoan the loss,
Of one most noble and most rare, a gem,
Whose beauty shone in wastelands, far and toss,
With plumes of gold, and voice that could condemn.
The Sage Grouse, a species that once blessed,
The prairies of the West, with grace and flair,
In courtship dances and in songs expressed,
Their love for life, and regal, noble air.

Yet, now we stand in grief, with heads bowed low,
For this great bird, our country's symbol, dies,
A victim of our greed, and hands that sow,
The seeds of death, in earth where once it flies.
Our progress, our ambition, all in vain,
Has claimed a life, that once was all but slain.

The Sage Grouse, a species that was wise,
And lived in harmony, with nature's ways,
In prairies vast, it flew before our eyes,
A mirage of beauty, that our heart betrays.
And now, as we lament, in rhyming verse,
We sing a dirge, that honors this great bird.

Oh, Sage Grouse, with wings so wide and proud,
Your loss we feel, with sadness in our hearts,
For you, the prairies' sovereign, so endowed,
With grace and power, now, forever part.
Your song will linger, in our memory,
A symphony, that will always be.

For though, you may no longer roam the land,
Your spirit, will endure, in every word,
That we, in sorrow, shall now understand,
That life is fleeting, and our loss absurd.
Your beauty, will forever shine, like gold,
And with our tears, we'll keep your story told.

So let us raise our voices, high and clear,
In honor of the Sage Grouse, so brave,
And sing a requiem, that all may hear,
That our actions, have this bird now depraved.
Let us remember, with our hearts aglow,
That nature's gifts, are not for us to show.

For this great bird, that once roamed free,
Is now but memory, a ghost of grace,
And we, with broken hearts, do grieve,
For this, our loss, in this, our place.
And so, with sadness in our eyes, we say,
Farewell, Sage Grouse, our symbol, of this day.
