SING AGAIN.

You sang me a song,
Twas the close of the year.
Sing again!
cannot remember the name
Or the words.
IT'S the same
We listen to hear
When the windows are open in spring
And the airs full of birds.
One calls from the branch some sweet thing
And one sings on the wing
The refrain.
You sang me a song
My heart thrilled 10 hear.
The refrain
Has run like u fillet OF gold
Through the wool
OF the cold
Dark days of year.
Tonight there's year at its start,
All the birds re aloof.
Your eyes hold the sun tor my part,
And the springs in your heart.
Sing againl
