-
Golden winged silver wingedB
Winged with flashing flameC
Such a flight of birds I sawD
Birds without a nameC
Singing songs in their own tongueE
Song of songs they cameC
-
One to another callingF
Each answering eachG
One to another callingF
In their proper speechG
High above my head they wheeledH
Far out of reachG
-
On wings of flame they went and cameC
With a cadenced clangI
Their silver wings tinkledJ
Their golden wings rangI
The wind it whistled through their wingsK
Where in Heaven they sangI
-
They flashed and they dartedL
Awhile before mine eyesM
Mounting mounting mounting stillN
In haste to scale the skiesM
Birds without a nest on earthO
Birds of ParadiseP
-
Where the moon riseth notQ
Nor sun seeks the westR
There to sing their gloryS
Which they sing at restR
There to sing their love songT
When they sing their bestR
-
Not in any gardenA
That mortal foot hath trodU
Not in any flowering treeS
That springs from earthly sodU
But in the garden where they dwellV
The Paradise of GodU

Christina Georgina Rossetti
