The caged bird longs
for the touch of the breeze
that carries whispers of freedom
through the rustling trees
It dreams of soaring high
in the boundless sky above
and spreading its wings wide
in a dance of pure love
If another stanza were added to “The Caged Bird,” which excerpt could best be used to continue the extended metaphor?
The free bird sings
with a joyous song
of the captive life
that kept it safe all along
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things it craves
outside the sill
The free bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things it craves
outside the sill
The caged bird sings
with a joyous song
of the captive life
that kept it safe all along
