Analysis of A Trio
My sister sees the birds
fly; above the starry
clouds; they dance in happy
bliss; they never live
without.
My brother loves the
sea; It's ebb and crest and
wave; his heart belongs to
sailing; the ocean takes back
what it gave.
My heart belongs to
words; to mountain high and valley
low; to the love I'll never
have; to the man I'll never
know.
