BIRDS by RICHARD HENRY STODDARD

Poet Analysis

First Line: BIRDS ARE SINGING ROUND MY WINDOW
Last Line: IN THE LITTLE CAGE OF SONG!
Subject(s): BIRDS;
BIRDS are singing round my window,
Tunes the sweetest ever heard,
And I hang my cage there daily,
But I never catch a bird.
So with thoughts my brain is peopled,
And they sing there all day long:
But they will not fold their pinions
In the little cage of Song!
