Through mournful tales of...

And delicious lips the color of cherry
And a very sweet...

I will ride the thermals on golden wing
Through feathers the breeze shall sing

And all below shall win my eye
From tranquil clouds and cerulean sky

Dip and dive in a sun so bright
This golden coat of pure delight

Wings shall span and shadows cast

I tarry 'neath its welcoming shade to muse about its...

Gentle zephyrs will uphold its wings, its flight to assuage.

From atop a craggy tor where nestles its rustic...
