First Line: If the sun could tell us half
Last Line: Birds that cannot fly.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Cruelty
IF the sun could tell us half
That he hears and sees,

Sometimes make us cry:
Think of all the birds that make
Homes among the trees;
Think of cruel boys who take
Birds that cannot fly.
