Explore "Sufficiency" by Annie Fellows Johnston on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE bird that sings one only strain, / To tell his passion o'er and o'er, / Can feel as much of joy or pain / As if he knew a thousand more.
And thou, sweet maid, whose gentle thought / In smiles or tears finds present vent, / What feeling could thy soul be taught, / Or who has words more eloquent?
