Blackbird, blind and dumbOriginally written on 11-19-2012; edited on 2-23-2013Written by: Cameron Morgan
Blind and dumb,
Why singest thou of
Mournful woe,
In face of bright-lit day,
What havest thee against
Yon brilliant sun ray-
What so startles your dramatic display?
Boundless little Blackbird,
Blind and dumb,
Why tether thyself to rotting fern-
Haven’t thee hope in bosom to burn?
On what craig unfurleth thy wings-
Sere, molted, yet siren-serene?
What resin rattles thy blood-
Oh tortured divine, oh lost in the flood?
Oh Blackbird,
Sweet bird,
Angel of hope,
Find thee a far forgotten isle-
Rest and pleasures elope.
Sing the songs of guileless waves,
White-caps and Whitonian love.
Wonderful phoenix, feckless friend,
Fly afar and Forget me.
