Public Domain Poetry And Stories - A Song By Uncle Sidney by James Whitcomb Riley Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
O were I not a clod, intent
On being just an earthly thing,
I'd be that rare embodiment
Of Heart and Spirit, Voice and Wing,
With pure, ecstatic, rapture-sent,
Divinely-tender twittering
That Echo swoons to re-present, -
A bluebird in the Spring.
