The Ladybird

and on a bit of of blue paper that had been the band
of a small skein of silk
she wrote the lines of the silly little song:

"Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär'
Und auch zwei Flügein hätt'
Flög' ich zu dir--"

That was all she could get on her bit of paleblue paper.

"If I were a little bird
And had two little wings
I'd fly to thee--"

- text from 'The Ladybird' written by D.H.Lawrence.
