I wonder I wonder:
What song she will sing
The little bird — grey with a clip on each wing.
A whistle of whimsy or
Whisper of woe —
The little grey bird with cages for wings?

What will what will
The little thing sing
With no colors to choose from — but her master’s old things.
Perhaps broken sunlight or
The parade of clothes —
The ones from the faces that come and never go?
I wonder I wonder
If ever she’ll sing
The little bird — untainted but doesn’t know a thing.
A tale of envy or
Fable from home —
The little bird — grey caged to her throne?
