A boy' s Song
Because I set no snare
But leave them flying free,
All the birds of the air
Belong to me.
From the blue -tit on the sloe
To the eagle on the height,
Uncaged they come and go
For my delight
And so the sunward way
I soar on the eagle's wings,
And in my heart all day
The blue -tit sings,
Because I set no snare
But leave them flying free,
All the birds of the air
Belong to me.
From the blue -tit on the sloe
To the eagle on the height,
Uncaged they come and go
For my delight
And so the sunward way
I soar on the eagle's wings,
And in my heart all day
The blue -tit sings,
