Of Being is a Bird

Thomas, Ambroise

Of Being is a Bird

The likest to the Down

An Easy Breeze do put afloat

The General Heavens -- upon --

It soars -- and shifts -- and whirls --

And measures with the Clouds

In easy -- even -- dazzling pace --

No different the Birds --

Except a Wake of Music

Accompany their feet --

As did the Down emit a Tune --

For Ecstasy -- of it
