Not With a Club the Heart is Broken

Not with a club the heart is broken,	
      Nor with a stone;	
A whip, so small you could not see it,	
      I ’ve known	
  
To lash the magic creature
      Till it fell,	
Yet that whip’s name too noble	
      Then to tell.	
  
Magnanimous of bird	
      By boy descried,
To sing unto the stone	
      Of which it died.
