UPON SEEING A COLOURED DRAWING OF THE BIRD OF PARADISE IN AN ALBUM Composed 1835.--Published 1836 [I cannot forbear to record that the last seven lines of this Poem were composed in bed during the night of the day on which my sister Sara Hutchinson died about 6 P.M., and it was the thought of her innocent and beautiful life that, through faith, prompted the words---- On wings that fear no glance of God’s pure sight, No tempest from his breath. The reader will find two poems on pictures of this bird among my Poems. I will here observe that in a far greater number of instances than have been mentioned in these notes one poem has, as in this case, grown out of another, either because I felt the subject had been inadequately treated, or that the thoughts and images suggested in course of composition have been such as I found interfered with the unity indispensable to every work of art, however humble in character.--I.F.] One of the “Poems of Sentiment and Reflection.”--ED.
