Lovely bird, yours is the palace
Of the sky,
In its blue chalice,
You may fly,
Your wings a part
Of its throbbing azure heart.
Lovely bird, yours is the crescent
Of the sun,
So incandescent;
You have won
Its setting hue --
Splash of purple on the blue.
Lovely bird, yours is the bosom
Of the earth,
Near its spring blossom
You have birth,
Your song to be
Dreams of future poesy.
