First Line: No house of stone
Last Line: I am a bird.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
No house of stone
Was built for me;
When the Sun shines --
I am a bee.
No sooner comes
The Rain so warm,
I come to light --
I am a worm.
When the Winds blow,
I do not strip,
But set my sails --
I am a ship.
When Lightning comes,
It plays with me
And I with it --
I am a tree.
When drowned men rise
At Thunder's word,
Sings Nightingale --
I am a bird.
