Fettered

Title:     Fettered
Author: Cotton Noe [More Titles by Noe]

Within the tented dome where pheasant rare,
With brilliant plumage caught the public gaze,
Or magpie won applause by vulgar phrase
Picked up from idle crowd that thronged the fair,
A pensive nightingale, unnoticed there,
In silence sat and heard men's lavish praise
Of these, yet all unmindful dreamed of lays,
In freedom she might pour upon the air.

[The end]
Cotton Noe's poem: Fettered
