Everyone Sang
Everyone suddenly burst out singing; And I was filled with such delight. As prisoned birds must find in freedom, Winging wildly across the white Orchards and dark-green fields; on—on—and out of sight. Everyone’s voice was suddenly lifted; And beauty came like the setting sun: My heart was shaken with tears; and horror Drifted away.—o, but Everyone Was a bird; and the song was wordless the singing will never be done. —Siegfried Sassoon. Poems.
