I saw a flight of sparrows through the air. <br />Oh, let us rise <br />Out of the weaknesses of our despair <br />To burning skies. <br />Let us take wings for flight from home and friends <br />And sweet desire. <br />From comfortable earth the soul ascends <br />To heavens of fire.<br /><br />Lesbia Harford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-saw-a-flight-of-sparrows-through-the-air/
