-->“And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love, felt everywhere;
Each flower and bird on Earth's dark breast,
Arose from the dreams, of its wintry rest.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley


Music: Song Of The Earth


Winter had been lingering long enough
For some Sign of Spring, I now yearned
And just yesterday, I heard him calling me
One of our migrating robins, had returned

“Cheerio! Cheer Up! Cheerio!”
He had awakened me at dawn
I now very eagerly got dressed
And I rushed out onto my lawn

There he was, on a bare tree limb
He was back, peering right at me
And once again, he burst into song
From his feathered heart, so joyously

“Cheerio! Cheer Up! Cheerio!”
How I love a robin’s Spring Song
I knew his mate would soon arrive
And I didn’t have to wait very long

I was soon very joyously watching this mated pair of birds
As they now started flitting all around, preparing their nest
Spring had, indeed, now officially returned to my backyard
Robin’s Return, had suddenly, made me feel very blessed

Winter had been lingering long enough,
For some Sign of Spring, I now yearned;
And just yesterday, I heard him calling me,
One of our migrating robins, had now returned.
