To a Captive Crane

by Hamlin Garland

Ho, brother! Art thou prisoned too?   Is thy heart hot with restless pain? I heard the call thy bugle blew   Here by the bleak and chilling main (Whilst round me shaven parks are spread   And cindered drives wind on and on); And at thy cry, thy lifted head,   My gladdened heart was westward drawn. O splendid bird! your trumpet brings To my lone heart the prairie springs.
