A Song By Uncle Sidney

________________________________________________
Title:     A Song By Uncle Sidney
Author: James Whitcomb Riley [More Titles by Riley]

O were I not a clod, intent
On being just an earthly thing,
I'd be that rare embodiment
Of Heart and Spirit, Voice and Wing,
With pure, ecstatic, rapture-sent,
Divinely-tender twittering
That Echo swoons to re-present,--
A bluebird in the Spring.






[The end]
James Whitcomb Riley's poem: Song By Uncle Sidney
