MY BIRDEEN by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: ON BONNIE BIRDEEN
Last Line: MY PASSION, MY PAIN.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; DEATH; EYES; LOSS; LOVE; PAIN; PASSION; CHILDHOOD; DEAD, THE; SUFFERING; MISERY;
On bonnie birdeen,
Sweet-bird of my heart—
Tell me, my dear one,
How shall we part?

He calls me, he cries
Who is father to thee:
O birdeen, his eyes
In these blue eyes I see.

Thou art wrought of our love,
Of our joy that was slain:
My birdeen, my dove,
My passion, my pain.
