MENDED WINGS, by                    
First Line: I found you wounded, feathered mite
Last Line: To freedom ... Fly!
Subject(s): Birds; Freedom; Liberty


I found you wounded, feathered mite,
With wild bewildered eyes,
That made me know my brother more,
Myself no less despise.

For man has been your enemy
Too long, O timid heart,
For you to feel my warmth and care,
Or trust a human part,

And now I clip the bounds of earth
And give you to the sky.
There! Beat your mended wings again
To freedom ... fly!
