Everyone suddenly burst out singing;
|
1 |
And I was filled with such delight |
2 |
As prisoned birds must find in freedom, |
3 |
Winging wildly across the white |
4 |
Orchards and dark-green fields;
on—on—and out of sight. |
5 |
|
6 |
Everyone’s voice was suddenly lifted;
|
7 |
And beauty came like the setting sun:
|
8 |
My heart was shaken with tears; and
horror |
9 |
Drifted away ... O, but Everyone |
10 |
Was a bird; and the song was wordless;
the singing will never be done. |
