Sweet thrush if I could sing like you <br />Upon the bough of that old tree, <br />Then I would sing the whole day through <br />And fill this land with melody. <br /> <br />Sweet thrush if I'd your wings to fly <br />I'd soar into the summer air, <br />And chase the clouds as they went by <br />For all your freedom I would share. <br /> <br />Sweet thrush if I did have your grace <br />And wore your clothes of speckled white, <br />I'd move along from place to place <br />And folks would marvel at my sight. <br /> <br />Sweet thrush if only for one day <br />I could be you instead of me, <br />I'd find a branch and there I'd stay <br />To sing with joyful harmony.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-thrush-if-i-could-sing-like-you/
