	If I were a big black bird 
I’d swim in the airy ocean 
Of the cloud, and rise and fall 
Like a tide ‘neath the starry sky 
 
I’d my eyes tightly closed 
Fearless of the storms and tempest 
Of scudding cloudy ice-berg 
Sail like peace 
 
My fingers like sun’s spray 
As I strum the bands of heights 
To all spheres, at my own will 
As would wind winds and breezes 
 
I’d rove and dive in frolic 
All day long, till night comes 
As if it were to be forever 
In making freedom all mine 
 
Then I’d in aerobatics swerve 
O’er the mountains to the valleys 
Scooping a thing or another aloft 
And drifting like rafter above  
 
With wind thus ‘neath my wings 
Unbounded, shall my flight be 
In springing forth from the sky-board 
Till I rest in an Eternal nest.
