THE BLUEBIRD (1) by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WHEN GOD HAD MADE A HOST OF THEM
Last Line: AS WINGS, AWAY IT FLEW.
Subject(s): BIRDS; BLUEBIRDS;
When God had made a host of them,
One little flower still lacked a stem
To hold its blossom blue;
So into it He breathed a song,
And suddenly, with petals strong
As wings, away it flew.
