Discovering the Secret Garden – Poem

A scene from the 1949 film version of The Secret Garden. Mary is sitting near a bird and has her hand raised towards the bird.
Little bird
Come and sit with me
and hear my song
Your feathers look warm
and your eyes have travelled places
Tell me from where you have flown
Before our friends call us home

(This poem is inspired by the novel and various film versions of The Secret Garden.)
