To hear an Oriole sing
To hear an Oriole sing
May be a common thing
Or only a divine.
It is not of the Bird
Who sings the same, unheard,
As unto Crowd
The Fashion of the Ear
Attireth that it hear
In Dun, or fair
So whether it be Rune,
Or whether it be none
Is of within.
The “Tune is in the Tree “
The Skeptic showeth me
“No Sir! In Thee!”
