O bird that somewhere yonder sings	A
In the dim hour 'twixt dreams and dawn	B
Lone in the hush of sleeping things	A
In some sky sanctuary withdrawn	B
Your perfect song is too like pain	C
And will not let me sleep again	D
	-
I think you must be more than bird	E
A little creature of soft wings	A
Not yours this deep and thrilling word	E
Some morning planet 'tis that sings	A
Surely from no small feathered throat	F
Wells that august eternal note	F
	-
As some old language of the dead	G
In one resounding syllable	H
Says Rome and Greece and all is said	G
A simple word a child may spell	I
So in your liquid note impearled	G
Sings the long epic of the world	G
	-
Unfathomed sweetness of your song	J
With ancient anguish at its core	K
What womb of elemental wrong	J
With shudder unimagined bore	K
Peace so divine what hell hath trod	G
This voice that softly talks with God	G
	-
All silence in one silver flower	L
Of speech that speaks not save as speaks	M
The moon in heaven yet hath power	L
To tell the soul the thing it seeks	M
And pack as by some wizard's art	G
The whole within the finite part	G
	-
To you sweet bird one well might feign	C
With such authority you sing	N
So clear yet so profound a strain	C
Into the simple ear of spring	N
Some secret understanding given	O
Of the hid purposes of Heaven	O
	-
And all my life until this day	G
And all my life until I die	G
All joy and sorrow of the way	G
Seem calling yonder in the sky	G
And there is something the song saith	P
That makes me unafraid of death	P
	-
Now the slow light fills all the trees	Q
The world before so still and strange	R
With day's familiar presences	S
Back to its common self must change	R
And little gossip shapes of song	J
The porches of the morning throng	J
	-
Not yours with such as these to vie	G
That of the day's small business sing	N
Voice of man's heart and of God's sky	G
But O you make so deep a thing	N
Of joy I dare not think of pain	C
Until I hear you sing again	D
