The Canary

Author: Morris Rosenfeld [More Titles by Rosenfeld]

The free canary warbles
In leafy forest dell:
Who feels what rapture thrills her,
And who her joy can tell?

The sweet canary warbles
Where wealth and splendor dwell:
Who knows what sorrow moves her,
And who her pain can tell?

[Translators: Rose Pastor Stokes and Helena Frank]
