BALLATA OF TRUE AND FALSE SPRING, by ANONYMOUS First Line: A little wild bird sometimes at my ear Last Line: There is no room for pupils any more Subject(s): Singing & Singers | ||||||||
A LITTLE wild bird sometimes at my ear Sings his own verses very clear: Others sing louder that I do not hear. For singing loudly is not singing well; But ever by the song that 's soft and low The master-singer's voice is plain to tell. Few have it and yet all are masters now, And each of them can trill out what he calls His ballads, canzonets, and madrigals. The world with masters is so covered o'er, There is no room for pupils any more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
