Here you will find thePoemThe bird that soars on highest wingof poet James Montgomery
The bird that soars on highest wing Builds on the ground her lowly nest; And she that doth most sweetly sing Sings in the shade when all things rest: In lark and nightingale we see What honour hath humility. The saint that wears heaven's brightest crown In deepest adoration bends; The weight of glory bows him down Then most when most his soul ascends. Nearest the throne itself must be The footstool of humility.
