The Oriole's Secret
The Oriole's Secret
To hear an oriole sing
May be a common thing,
Or only a divine.
May be a common thing,
Or only a divine.
It is not of the bird
Who sings the same, unheard,
As unto crowd.
Who sings the same, unheard,
As unto crowd.
The fashion of the ear
Attireth that it hear
In dun or fair.
Attireth that it hear
In dun or fair.
So whether it be rune,
Or whether it be none,
Is of within;
Or whether it be none,
Is of within;
The "tune is in the tree,"
The sceptic showeth me;
"No, sir! In thee!"
The sceptic showeth me;
"No, sir! In thee!"
