IF you and I / Had wings to fly- / Great wings like seagulls' wings- / How would we soar / Above the roar / Of loud unneeded things!
We two would rise / Through changing skies / To blue unclouded space, / And undismayed / And unafraid / Meet the sun face to face.
But wings we know not; / The feathers grow not / To carry us so high; / And low in the gloom / Of a little room / We weep and say good-bye.
