A Reed by the River/A Bird Song
Appearance
A BIRD SONG
The soul of strife hath burst its bars
And on exultant wings
Amid the immortal field of stars
Behold, it sings!
And on exultant wings
Amid the immortal field of stars
Behold, it sings!
And thou, O tuneless heart of Care,
Stronger than earth is strong,
Doth not thy pain escape its snare
And rise in song?
Stronger than earth is strong,
Doth not thy pain escape its snare
And rise in song?
