Thread & Verse

I hear, I hear,	
A captain’s roar.
A cry, a cry,
It rises and soar. 

I hear, I hear,
Birds are singing. 
A song, the song
Of joy and weeping. 

I thought I heard
A faraway cry.
Alas it was only,
A song of goodbye. 

I heard, I heard,
Such wonderful things. 
With deaf ears
I know these joyous rings.
