IN BIRD LAND

BY
LEANDER S. KEYSER

Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk?
Ralph Waldo Emerson: Forbearance

Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
The world should listen then, as I am listening now!
Percy B. Shelley: To a Skylark
