BE THOU A BIRD, MY SOUL by A. G. C.

First Line: BE THOU A BIRD, MY SOUL, AND MOUNT AND SOAR
Last Line: UNERRING, HOME.
Subject(s): BIRDS; SOUL;

BE thou a bird, my soul, and mount and soar
Out of thy wilderness,
Till earth grows less and less,
Heaven, more and more.

Be thou a bird, and mount, and soar, and sing,
Till all the earth shall be
Vibrant with ecstasy
Beneath thy wing.

Be thou a bird, and trust, the autumn come,
That through the pathless air
Thou shalt find otherwhere
Unerring, home.
