Cage Bird and Sky Bird

 Cage Bird and Sky Bird

 

Cage Bird swung

From an apple tree

And his cage was of silver

And ivory,

Nobody can be so happy, so happy;

        Sang the Cage Bird.

Sky Bird sang

From a cloudless sky,

And his wings were wide

And bright his eyes

Nobody can be so glad as I;

     Sang the Sky Bird.

That wild song 

To the garden fell

And the Cage Bird heard it,

In his silver cell.

Are you free then, are you truly free?

       Cried the Cage Bird.

Sky Bird flew

In the trail of the sun 

And swiftly he soared,

Away from the garden.

Sadly sang the Cage Bird, when the day was done;

       Sang the Cage Bird.

                                                                                         

Cage Bird
