Words that are rarely used,
Like treasures, are often abused,
Forgotten in the passage of time,
Buried in the pages of the sublime.

Words that are strange to our ear,
Like whispers that we can barely hear,
They have a power all their own,
A beauty that is often unknown.

From "petrichor" to "halcyon",
These words evoke emotions strong,
A world that's rich, a world that's deep,
Where language can soar and language can leap.

So let us not forget these words,
That are hidden like a singing birds.
