"He and begins to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his rings

In light, and the fancy sings."

And sometimes some of us wing and when they do,
when their leave the ground, even for a second,

And when we rise, and we rise,
