Lal Kamal's Bird with Silver Wings (Click for RY Deshpande's & Sri Aurobindo's comments.)

In the hidden garden of my heart
A bird with silver wings,
Perched on the bough of a golden tree,
Forever sings.

In tunes of heavenly rapture
When the sun is bright,
I hear notes of magic melody
In the calm of night.

All day and night in the deeps of my life
Its music rings.
What is this bird in the core of my heart
With silver wings?
