To a Humming-Bird

by John Vance Cheney
Voyager on golden air,
Type of all that 's fleet and fair,
Incarnate gem,
Live diadem!
Stay, forget lost Paradise,
Star-bird fallen from happy skies. —

Vanished! Earth is not his home.
Onward, onward must he roam,
Swift passion-thought,
In rapture wrought;
Issue of the soul's desire,
Plumed with beauty and with fire.
