An Afterthought Poem by Robert Fuller Murray

An Afterthought

Rating: ★2.2


You found my life, a poor lame bird
That had no heart to sing,
You would not speak the magic word
To give it voice and wing.

Yet sometimes, dreaming of that hour,
I think, if you had known
How much my life was in your power,
It might have sung and flown.
