White wing, white wing, <br />Lily of the air, <br />What word dost bring, <br />On whose errand fare? <br /> <br />Red word, red word, <br />Snowy plumes abhor. <br />I, Christ's own bird, <br />Do the work of war.<br /><br />Katharine Lee Bates<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pigeon-post/
