A Wish

 
I wish to be a nightingale.
To sing in a grassy vale,
To be in company of nature,
To feel its magical rapture.

My themes will be of varied kinds -

It will be closed to weary mankind,
And it will sing of unsuccessful lovers
And describe to be the world of cruel fighters.

It will be able fly over fertile fields
It will smell the fragrance of flowers
It will enjoy the soft murmur of streams
It will speak to lonely pebbles.

I dream sitting on a flowery land
To preach humanity and love
