Why should my sleepy heart be taught <br />To whistle mocking-bird replies? <br />This is another bird you've caught, <br />Soft-feathered, with a falcon's eyes. <br /> <br />The bird Imagination, <br />That flies so far, that dies so soon; <br />Her wings are coloured like the sun, <br />Her breast is coloured like the moon. <br /> <br />Weave her a chain of silver twist, <br />And a little hood of scarlet wool, <br />And let her perch upon your wrist, <br />And tell her she is beautiful.<br /><br />Elinor Morton Wylie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-falcon-3/
