MORNING NEWS

I heard a bird in song today

As she chirped from the blossom tree;

The peace and calm became the Day

As this near angel trilled to me.

I heard birds first in afternoon,

A short, concerting lovely tune,

And then today at brisk of dawn,

Soft farewells to the fading moon...

A quiet knowing thrilled my heart

Setting it free upon Life's wing...

I heard dear bird... she did her part

By heralding in sweet, sweet Spring...

She sang her heart, it was not long...

Her sylvan serenade was brief...

But there was something in the song,

That brought reprieve to cold and Grief.

I heard a bird in song today

As she chirped from the blossom tree.

The peace and calm became the Day

As this near angel trilled to me.
