THISTLEDOWN: 15 by CORA RANDALL FABBRI

First Line: IF I COULD STEAL YOUR WINGS
Last Line: THAT'S WHAT I DO WITH THEM.
IF I could steal your wings
When you were through with them,
Nightingale, nightingale,
What would I do with them?

Fly to the golden South?
Fly to the heaven?
Fly where the flowers blow
Seven times seven?

If I could steal your wings
When you were through with them,
Into her heart I'd fly—
That's what I do with them.
