“They kept a bird—   Poor bird !—in a cage ;Till—so I have heard—   Without need, without rage,Cheerfully, coldly,   They let it flit,And more than boldly   Murdered it.Since the law of nature   Is danger and pain,The obedient creature   Did not complain,But left as token   to everybodyThe wing broken   And the breast bloody.”
