WINGS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My fancy flies, and sweetly sings
Last Line: Wings as of love.
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


My fancy flies, and sweetly sings,
In thy garden to be heard—
If my verses had but wings,
Wings as a bird.

It steals, and sparkling pleasure flings,
In thy merry halls to flit—
If my verses had but wings,
Wings as of wit.

Faithful, pure, the soul it brings
To rise with thee and soar above—
If my verses had but wings,
Wings as of love.
