Sylvia and the Birds

Edith M. Thomas

First published 1895
Type Poem

23 page poem, where the young Sylvia talks to the birds as they are preparing a southern migration. A large swan gives her a ride far into the sky. As is common with 19th century fantasies, at the end Sylvia wakes and realizes it's been a dream.
