The little gray dove
Language: English
A little gray-blue dove Sang in its golden cage; Blue were the skies above, Still were the storms that rage; It sang to its mate, Coo-coo, I do love you. And in my heart a dove Sings in its happy cage, Sings to its own true love, All in a golden age; It seems to say, Coo-coo, I do love you.
