Subject(s): Singing & Singers


There is a song within my heart that hides
In deep recesses when I long to sing;
Its music tells of birds, and trees, and flowers,
And slanting sunlight, and the skies of spring.

It wells up soundless, save to my own ear;
It fills me with a tender, poignant pain --
A glory, bounded by a narrow self --
Elusive and unshared, I try in vain

To free it, let it soar into the air,
A melody exultant, sweet and strong.
Elusive still -- I cannot give it voice,
And none, save I alone, may hear my Song.
