Maurice Maeterlinck

TYLTYL,

Wait. Yes, my bird…

Where is he? Ah! There in the cage!

Mytyl, do you see the cage?

That's the one that Bread was carrying.

Yes, yes, that's the same one;

But there is only one bird.

Where has the other one gone to?

Wait, it's blue!

It's my turtle-dove!

Only it's bluer than when I went away.

Why, it's the very Blue Bird.

That we've been looking for.

We went so far off.

And here he was!

Mytyl, do you see the bird?
