WHITE-THROAT by BERNICE LESBIA KENYON

First Line: BRIEF, BRIEF IS THE SONG I SING
Last Line: WHY I SING,—WHERE I GO!
Subject(s): LOVE; SINGING & SINGERS; SONGS;

BRIEF, brief is the song I sing;
It cannot profit anything.

High, high are the notes I call,—
So high no echo comes at all.

Far, far where the hills are green
I fly, and call, and am never seen.

You—you will never know
Why I sing,—where I go!
