Last Line: If I were you!
Subject(s): Birds; Bluebirds
If I were you, O bird of blue,
I'd make a dreamer's dream come true.
My rhymes and songs would be complete:
I'd leave the busy plodding street,
And soar aloft the whole day through.
My songs of love would melt the dew,
I'd wake the buds and flowers too;
The skies I'd leap on pinions fleet --
If I were you!
I'd fill the heights of azure hue
With wabbling strains I never knew: --
The gods above would seek retreat;
The song of songs would know defeat,
My notes would be so wildly sweet --
If I were you!
