Unuttered songs fly round my thoughts like birds,
And aerially, above an earth of words,
Imagined music on my spirit showers
From azure-feathered throat and golden tongue.
Most dear, of the many songs I cannot sing
Yours is the bird of heavenliest wing
Whose sunward flight beyond my following towers
And leaves me with an impotent harp unstrung.
Eleanor Farjeon
