O Bird of Time on your fruitful bough
What are the songs you sing?
Songs of the glory and gladness of life
Of poignant sorrow and passionate strife
And the lilting joy of the spring
Of hope that sows for the years unborn
And faith that dreams of a tarrying morn
The fragrant peace of the twilight's breath
And the mystic silence that men call death
O Bird of Time, say where did you learn
The changing measures you sing?
In blowing forests and breaking tides
In the happy laughter of new-made brides
And the nests of the new-born spring
In the dawn that thrills to a mother's prayer
And the night that shelters a heart's despair
In the sigh of pity, the sob of hate
And the pride of a soul that has conquered fate
