Heaven-born, ethereal, and free,
Thou art a spirit, not a bird;
Whose soul is a perpetual song,
As if no sorrow had been heard.
Thou art a spirit, not a bird;
Whose soul is a perpetual song,
As if no sorrow had been heard.
English poet of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Known for "Goblin Market" and devotional verse of exquisite craftsmanship.
