The Song of a Robin

By Kathleen Weatherhead

I HEARD a robin singing, When the world lay white and drear, And ne'er a ray of sunshine fell His little heart to cheer, I listened to the gladness That was mingled in his song, And from my heart the shadows fell Of weary years and long.

I heard a robin singing, When the skies were dark above, And from the song a lesson learned Of hope, and trust, and love. It spoke to me of patience, Of a spring our hearts shall know, Where snow of winter falleth not, And cold winds never blow.
