Thomas Moore's Quote - The bird let loose in Eastern skies,Returning fondly home,

Quote by Thomas Moore

The bird let loose in Eastern skies,Returning fondly home,

The bird let loose in Eastern skies,
Returning fondly home,
Neer stoops to earth her wing, nor flies
Where idle warblers roam;
But high she shoots through air and light,
Above all low delay,
Where nothing earthly bounds her flight,
Nor shadow dims her way. – Thomas Moore
