The voice of a bird <br /> <br /> Freedom is my birthright. <br /> Captivity does me never suit. <br /> Being a prisoner is no joy. <br /> Must I surf the winds in a buoy. <br /> <br /> A cage is no place for me. <br /> Lovely blue sky is my acme. <br /> Your cage golden and shining. <br /> by no means make comforting. <br /> <br />The Lord made the forest lush. <br />Thither to dwell is my wish. <br />Whither food nature lends, <br />fresh water plenty in crystal ponds. <br /> <br />In the streams my thirst quenched. <br />In the glades sweet voices heard. <br />In the vales let me glide freely. <br />Sing’ ng notes of liberty gaily. <br /> <br />A cage is no place for me. <br />Lovely blue sky is my acme. <br />Freedom is my birthright. <br />Captivity does me never suit. <br /> <br /> <br />-----------<br /><br />Ramesh Iyengar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-voice-of-a-bird/
