PhoenixSong     For the child has hidden the bird in the cupboard and all the children hear its song and all the children hear the music and eight and eight in their turn off they go and four and four in their turn and two and two fade away and one and one make neither one nor two but one and one off they go and the lyre bird sings and the child sings and the teacher shouts Do the test, do the test you must do the test but all the children are listening to the music and the walls of the classroom quietly crumble the window panes turn once more to sand the ink is sea the paper trees and the feather In the ancient quill on display a bird again soaring skyward - David R Morgan
