# 4588 Sing!
Posted June 2nd, 2013 by Anneke
Dear Gloria,
could you please check this sentence Sing high, sing low, sing as the bird who does knowing nothing else but to sing.?
I think it has to be changed?
Thanks a lot,
Anneke

Of course, at this stage of the game, it doesn’t matter. There is a Silent Voice That Sings, and you are the Singer. Voiced, or silent, what a Voice you have! And what a Song you sing. Sing high, sing low, sing as the bird who does knowing nothing else but to sing. How wise you are to sing, even what you don’t understand what or how you are singing.


Beloved Anneke, I can see
Beloved Anneke, I can see how the following wordage would be clearer:
"...sing as the bird who sings knowing nothing else but to sing.?"
The meaning is "does sing" even though the word sing is is understood but not repeated. In terms of the rhythm, sing without the word does sounds better to me.
And, of course, take out that period before the question mark. That's a pure typo!
Thanks, Anneke, for asking your questions. Much appreciated.
