L'oiseau bleu
L'oiseau bleu
Original Text
Mary E. Coleridge, Poems (London: Elkin Mathews, 1918). PR 6005 O3P6 1918 Robarts Library
1The lake lay blue below the hill.
2 O'er it, as I looked, there flew
3Across the waters, cold and still,
4 A bird whose wings were palest blue.
5The sky above was blue at last,
6 The sky beneath me blue in blue.
7A moment, ere the bird had passed,
8 It caught his image as he flew.
