The little gray dove
L. Saar
A little gray-blue dove
Sang in its golden cage;
Blue were the skies above,
Still were the storms that rage;
It sang to its mate, Coo-coo,
I do love you.
And in my heart a dove
Sings in its happy cage,
Sings to its own true love,
All in a golden age;
It seems to say, Coo-coo,
I do love you.
