The Red Bird
by Evaleen Stein
Swept lightly by the south wind
The elm-leaves softly stirred,...
And in their pale green clusters
There straightway bloomed a bird!
His glossy feathers glistened
With dyes as richly red
As any tulip flaming
From out the garden bed.
But ah, unlike the tulips,
In joyous strain, ere long,
This red-bird flower unfolded
A heart of golden song!

King James Version (KJV) I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
