In the end Miss Harvey says "Looking FOR his songbird/Looking FOR his wings"
Not "at".
It seems minor, but I think it makes a big difference. Since this affair, the songbird and his wings have disappeared. I can't say much about the songbird, but the wings certainly represent innocence or at least being an angel. After what happened, he lost his wings and became a fallen angel of sorts. He sacrificed it all for such a sinful desire, but he was deceived and left with nothing but a fall from grace.
