The Thorn Bird myth

The thorn bird is a Celtic myth about a bird who traded her life for the most beautiful song.

Long ago, there was a bird who sang but just once in her life
From the moment she left the nest
she searched relentlessly for a thorn tree, never rested until she found one
Then she began to sing, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the Earth
But carried away in the rapture of the song
she impaled herself on the longest, sharpest thorn
But as she was dying
she rose above her agony to ousting even the lark and the nightingale
The thorn bird traded her life for that one song
and the whole world was captured to listen
And God, in his heaven, smiled
As her very best was brought out, only at the cost of great pain
Driven by the thorn
with no thought for her death to come
But when we push the thorn into our breasts
We know, we understand, and still we choose the pain of the thorn
