I WILL not follow you, my bird, <br />I will not follow you. <br />I would not breathe a word, my bird, <br />To bring thee here anew. <br /> <br /> <br />I love the free in thee, my bird, <br />The lure of freedom drew; <br />The light you fly toward, my bird, <br />I fly with thee unto. <br /> <br /> <br />And there we yet will meet, my bird, <br />Though far I go from you <br />Where in the light outpoured, my bird, <br />Are love and freedom too.<br /><br />George William Russell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-372/
