PEOPLE BUY A LOT OF THINGS, by ANNETTE WYNNE Last Line: And then I'd open wide the cage, and set the singer free Subject(s): Birds; Freedom | ||||||||
PEOPLE buy a lot of things- Carts and balls and nails and rings, But I would buy a bird that sings. I would buy a bird that sings and let it sing for me, And let it sing of flying things and mating in a tree. And then I'd open wide the cage, and set the singer free. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE THE WILD SWAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS AFTER TENNYSON by AMBROSE BIERCE QUARTET IN F MAJOR by WILLIAM MEREDITH CROSS THAT LINE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE EMANCIPATION by ELIZABETH ALEXANDER CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by ANNETTE WYNNE |
