Padraic Colum - Bird Of Paradise

Padraic Colum - Bird Of Paradise

WITH sapphire for her crown, br And with the Libyan wine br For lustre of her eyes; br With azure on her feet br As though she trod the skies; br Then iris for her vest, br Rose, ebony, and flame br (The bird that Camoens br Won for his golden lay), br She lives a thing enthralled. br In forests that are old, br As old as is the Moon.
