• I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day; Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.

    Robert Frost: I have wished a bird would fly away, 
 And not sing by my house all day; 
 Have clapped my hands at him from the door 
 When it seemed as if I could bear no more. 
 The fault must partly have been in me. 
 The bird was not to blame for his key. 
 And of course there must be something wrong 
 In wanting to silence any song.
