Golden winged silver winged | B |
Winged with flashing flame | C |
Such a flight of birds I saw | D |
Birds without a name | C |
Singing songs in their own tongue | E |
Song of songs they came | C |

One to another calling | F |
Each answering each | G |
One to another calling | F |
In their proper speech | G |
High above my head they wheeled | H |
Far out of reach | G |

On wings of flame they went and came | C |
With a cadenced clang | I |
Their silver wings tinkled | J |
Their golden wings rang | I |
The wind it whistled through their wings | K |
Where in Heaven they sang | I |

They flashed and they darted | L |
Awhile before mine eyes | M |
Mounting mounting mounting still | N |
In haste to scale the skies | M |
Birds without a nest on earth | O |
Birds of Paradise | P |

Where the moon riseth not | Q |
Nor sun seeks the west | R |
There to sing their glory | S |
Which they sing at rest | R |
There to sing their love song | T |
When they sing their best | R |

Not in any garden | A |
That mortal foot hath trod | U |
Not in any flowering tree | S |
That springs from earthly sod | U |
But in the garden where they dwell | V |
The Paradise of God | U |
