Beenie Donaldson

Singing nightingale

Free spirit

No guilded cage can ever hold

I heard your song

Joy for life and love

Swallowed and silenced by your pain

Your first chick

A fair siren

Heir to your haunting melodies

Not yet ready for this world

Returned to the stars

From whence all angels come

So sing you now

A requiem

Sweets to the sweet and farewell

But remember to listen

For her faerie song

Joining your own

Carried on the wind
