Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - Sonnet VII

2014-11-10 2 Dailymotion

LIKE an enfranchised bird, who wildly springs, <br />With a keen sparkle in his glancing eye <br />And a strong effort in his quivering wings, <br />Up to the blue vault of the happy sky,-- <br />So my enamour'd heart, so long thine own, <br />At length from Love's imprisonment set free. <br />Goes forth into the open world alone, <br />Glad and exulting in its liberty: <br />But like that helpless bird, (confined so long, <br />His weary wings have lost all power to soar,) <br />Who soon forgets to trill his joyous song, <br />And, feebly fluttering, sinks to earth once more,-- <br />So, from its former bonds released in vain, <br />My heart still feels the weight of that remember'd chain.<br /><br />Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-vii-10/
