Blue Bird ( The Prisoner )

     
Don’t go little bird, don’t go    
Stay little bird, please stay    
Warm with me beside the fire    
Sing me songs of sky and clouds    
Cypress trees and yellow sands    
Tell me what the cattle said and skylark gossip    
Stories tell to fill the time but don’t go, don’t go,    
.    
Stay little bird,  I will make a nest of gold    
Lined all in satin, hung with lace    
With sheets of butterfly wings    
Pillows stuffed with fur of bees,    
For you little bird, for you.    
Delight my dark and weary vigil,    
As I wait the dawning of a dream    
Bring me the balm of southern seas    
Smiling sky and mirror lagoon    
To drown the unpitying pat of rain    
Stay little bird, stay,    
.    
I have no wings as you, pedestrian my going;    
Carry me on  wings of dreams    
To all you know I have not seen.    
I will bring you poppy seeds    
Forget- me-not and mignonette    
Drinks of honeysuckle dew    
Distilled in the tears of weeping birch    
Grey dry leaves of Artemis    
To scent your bed, if you will stay.    
     
Ssssssssssh ! heed not those songs    
Rest, and I shall make a cage of ivory    
Glazed all about with crystal    
A mirror wall will company you    
In case you tire of me.    
Ssssssh  my darling, heed not      
They are sweet, can’t we listen here?    
Here its warm and still    
No winds to blow, no rain to soak    
I have no cat and the fox has gone    
Stay safe with me ,    
let me kiss your fluffy breast    
cool my cheek on your soft neck    
Heed not those songs,    
Blue angel stay, please stay    
Don't go...... Don't..........!
