THE OPEN DOOR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: See, little bird, I open wide
Last Line: Awaits my song
Subject(s): Air; Birds; Freedom; Wings; Liberty


SEE, little bird,
I open wide
The door for thee;
Thou mayest glide
On waving wing,
And gladly sing,
And everywhere
In the sweet air
Of freedom dwell.

I too, little bird,
Would scape my cage;
Would fly abroad
E'er frosty age
Hath chilled my breath,
And dimmed mine eye;
And nought but death,
In field and sky,
Awaits my song
