"With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
And Phoebus fir'd by vocal range;
He caught me in his silken net,
And shut me in his golden cage.
He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then, laughs, sports and plays with me;
The stretches out my golden wing,
And mocks my loss liberty"
(A portion of) "Song" William Blake
