A Linnet In a Gilded Cage: A linnet in a gilded cage,
In frosty winter one might doubt
A linnet on a bough,?
Which bird is luckier now.
But let the trees burst out in leaf,
And nests be on the bough,
Which linnet is the luckier bird
Oh who could doubt it now?

A Song Of Flight:

While we slumber and sleep,
The sun leaps up from the deep,
Daylight born at the leap,
Rapid, dominant, free,

Athirst to bathe in the uttermost sea.
While we linger at play
If the year would stand at May!
Winds are up and away,
Over land, over sea,
To their goal, wherever their goal may be.
It is time to arise,

To race for the promised prize;
The sun flies, the wind files,
We are strong, we are free,
And home lies beyond the stars and the sea.

"In frosty winter one might doubt"
which bird is luckier now.
"Which linnet is the luckier bird,
Oh who could doubt it now?"
