The Oriole's Secret

Poems: Second Series

TO hear an oriole singMay be a common thing,Or only a divine.

It is not of the birdWho sings the same, unheard,As unto crowd.

The fashion of the earAttireth that it hearIn dun or fair.

So whether it be rune,Or whether it be none,Is of within;

The "tune is in the tree,"The sceptic showeth me;"No, sir! In thee!"
