Come, come sweet bird of paradise <br />thou playest with mine heart <br />though this old crow delighted so <br />believeth it black art <br />for what sweet maid in saviours grace <br />would seek old valient so <br />sweet graceful bird of paradise <br />what see'est in old crow <br /> <br />Twas once when I was mighty hawk <br />and through the air would soar <br />pretty birds would gaze at me <br />as something to adore <br />with bravest heart I playeth part <br />and have the scars to show <br />but now sweet bird of paradise <br />I'm simply and old crow <br /> <br />'Old crow' said bird of paradise <br />'pray listen to me please <br />for I was but a little wren <br />untill I was released <br />and now my feathers beautiful <br />and you no longer soar <br />tis beauty that you hold within <br />and that which I adore'.<br /><br />Sir Knight of words<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-crow-and-paradise/
