(from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, 1969)
"But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage,
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied,
so he opens his throat to sing."
can seldom see through his bars of rage,
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied,
so he opens his throat to sing."
"The free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wings in the orange sun rays
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wings in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky."
"The caged bird sings with fearful trill
of the things unknown but longed for still
and is tune is heard on the distant hill
of the things unknown but longed for still
and is tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom"
