The Heart's Country Poem by Florence Wilkinson

The Heart's Country



Hill people turn to their hills;
   Sea-folk are sick for the sea:
Thou art my land and my country,
   And my heart calls out for thee.

The bird beats his wings for the open,
   The captive burns to be free;
But I -- I cry at thy window,
   For thou art my liberty.
