I have a Bird in spring
Which for myself doth sing �
The spring decoys.
And as the summer nears �
And as the Rose appears,
Robin is gone.
Yet do I not repine
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown �
Learneth beyond the sea
Melody new for me
And will return.
Fast in safer hand
Held in a truer Land
Are mine �
And though they now depart,
Tell I my doubting heart
They're thine.
In a serener Bright,
In a more golden light
I see
Each little doubt and fear,
Each little discord here
Removed.
Then will I not repine,
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown
Shall in distant tree
Bright melody for me
Return.

On this wondrous sea
Sailing silently,
Ho! Pilot, ho!
Knowest thou the shore
Where no breakers roar -
Where the storm is o'er?"

"My story has a moral�
I have a missing friend�
"Pleiad" its name, and Robin,
And guinea in the sand.
And when this mournful ditty
Accompanied with tear�
Shall meet the eye of traitor
In country far from here�
Grant that repentance solemn
May seize upon his mind�
And he no consolation
Beneath the sun may find."

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of Victory
As he defeated � dying �
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!"
