Sweet Thrush If I Could Sing Like You Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE

Sweet Thrush If I Could Sing Like You

Rating: 5.0


Sweet thrush if I could sing like you
Upon the bough of that old tree,
Then I would sing the whole day through
And fill this land with melody.

Sweet thrush if I'd your wings to fly
I'd soar into the summer air,
And chase the clouds as they went by
For all your freedom I would share.

Sweet thrush if I did have your grace
And wore your clothes of speckled white,
I'd move along from place to place
And folks would marvel at my sight.

Sweet thrush if only for one day
I could be you instead of me,
I'd find a branch and there I'd stay
To sing with joyful harmony.

Your thrush reminds me of nightingale and skylark born to sing and live in freedom in the sky high above all narrow ideals. As a poet I feel I am a skylark singing for my heart's content in many of my poems that rejoices and inspires many lonesome guys to live with freedom and happiness! Yours is not an exception in this regard.

It would be a shame to point out just one part of this, as it is wonderful reading in it's entirity and so... Sweet Thrush If I Could Sing Like You Sweet thrush if I could sing like you Upon the bough of that old tree, Then I would sing the whole day through And fill this land with melody. Sweet thrush if I'd your wings to fly I'd soar into the summer sky, And chase the clouds as they went by For all your freedom I would share. Sweet thrush if I did have your grace And wore your clothes of speckled white, I'd move along from place to place And folks would marvel at my sight. Sweet thrush if only for one day I could be you instead of me, I'd find a branch and there I'd stay To sing with joyful harmony. ANDREW BLAKEMORE Love duncan X
