Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCA DEFDGAAGE HEHGAAIE JAKLMJ

A bird and flower upon the treeA
Sweet peony and orioleB
Each of them a perfect soulB
Song and sweetness manifestC
The bird and flower we love the bestC
Side by side on the tall treeA
-
'Flower who art sunlight and fire flower who art perfume and joyD
Sweetest of sweetE
Ah for the gift withheldF
Ah for the given gift's alloyD
Why must thy spirit exhale only in beauty and breathG
Ah for the voice thou hast not I by thy side on the treeA
Telling the world of love pain and all raptures that beA
Raptures of laughter and life raptures of tears and deathG
Singing my heart to heaven singing to earth at my feetE
Silence in thee '-
-
'Bird who art dew drops and flame bird who art rapture and songH
Sweetest of sweetE
Lo there's a voice part mine songs that to me too belongH
Songs that grew of my growth voice that has breathed my breathG
Bird that while I sit mute singest beside on the treeA
Hast thou ever a song taking no perfume of meA
Give forth my sweetness in song bird thou art singing for bothI
Singing our hearts to heaven singing to earth at our feetE
My voice in thee '-
-
On the tree top side by sideJ
Sweet oriole and peonyA
Music rings through earth and skyK
Sweet and sweet in sweetness lostL
The flower and bird we love the mostM
On the tree top side by sideJ
