Poem by Katharine Lee Bates

Pigeon Post

White wing, white wing,
Lily of the air,
What word dost bring,
On whose errand fare?

Red word, red word,
Snowy plumes abhor.
I, Christ's own bird,
Do the work of war.

1. America to England
2. The Sunset, Woven of Soft Lights
3. The Wee Wee Man
4. The Least of These
5. Around the Sun
