A Cheerful Tune

Awakened much to early

As the sun has not risen yet.

Short a few more hours of sleep

That I hope I shall regain.

 

O let the pretty blue birds sing

An old and cheerful song.

For lullabyes I've long forgot

And need a cheerful tune.

sing. Delightful poem.

I miss bluebirds. I hear they're on the decline. Blue jays are a poor substitute. I think I'll pick up that sleep you missed now.
