White Bird of Love by Joyce Kilmer Red for LibriVox .org by Chad Horner Located in Ballyclare, County Antrim, Northern Ireland Little white bird of the summer sky Silver against the golden sun Over the green of the hills you fly You and the sweet wild air are one Glorious sights are in that far place Reached by your daisy petal wing Rose -coloured meteors dive through space Stars made of molten music sing Still though your quivering, eager flight Reaches the groves by heaven -town Where all the angels cry out, alight! Stop, little bird, come down, come down Careless you speed over fields of stars Darting through heaven swift and free Nothing your arrowy passage bars Back to the earth and back to me Here in the orchard of Dreamfort Fair Out of my dreams is built your nest Blossoming dreams all the branches bear Fit for my silver dream birds rest Here, since they love you, the young stars shine Through the white petals come their beams Little white love -laden bird of mine Let them shine anew through my dreams White Bird of Love by Joyce Kilmer Read for LibriVox .org by Chris Pyle Little white bird of the summer sky Silver against the golden sun Over the green of the hills you fly You and the sweet wild air are one Glorious sights are in that far place Reached by your daisy petal wing Rose -coloured meteors dive through space Stars made of molten music sing Still, though your quivering eager flight Reaches the groves of heaven town Where all the angels cry out, Alight, stop little bird, come down, come down Careless you speed over fields of stars Darting through heaven swift and free Nothing your arrowy passage bars Back to the earth and back to me Here in the orchard of Dreamfort Fair Out of my dreams is built your nest Blossoming dreams all the branches bear Fit for my silver dreambird's rest Here since they love you the young stars shine Through the white petals come their beams Little white love -laden bird of mine Let me shine anew through my dreams End of poem.
