IF, by CORA RANDALL FABBRI First Line: If I were a bird Last Line: Smiles, if I were you. | |||
IF I were a bird I would sing all day; I would sing of you To the dropping dew, To the heaven's blue, All the praise I knew, Till the whole world heard- If I were a bird. If I were a flower— Say a daisy small— I would kiss your feet When I saw you fleet Pass me by, O sweet! I would murmur "Dear" All the summer hour— If I were a flower. If I were the wind— Say a summer breeze— I'd be bolder, dear: I would kiss your ear, I would touch your hair, Catch a flying lock, All its bands unbind— If I were the wind. If I were the rose, Growing frail and white, Near your window-sill, I would climb until I had reached it; still I would climb and peep Till the evening's close— If I were a rose. And if I were you I would act the same; Only, did I see Some one loving me Standing near, I'd be Just a trifle kind; I would drop a few Smiles, if I were you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A THOUGHT by CORA RANDALL FABBRI A WINTER PIECE by CORA RANDALL FABBRI ABSENCE by CORA RANDALL FABBRI AN OLD MAID by CORA RANDALL FABBRI DECEPTION by CORA RANDALL FABBRI DIED YOUNG by CORA RANDALL FABBRI HEART SONGS by CORA RANDALL FABBRI IN TUSCANY: A SEA-SPELL by CORA RANDALL FABBRI IN TUSCANY: ANITA by CORA RANDALL FABBRI IN TUSCANY: DEAD LEAVES by CORA RANDALL FABBRI |
