OF all the beautiful and sublime
Attributes, of which Nature displays;
None exceeds in perfect elysian.
Its music and lays!
One morning before dawn, 1 awoke with
delight,
Two robins were singing, with all of their
might
1 listened, with rapture. as they continued
to sing;
They were heralding glad news-the ad-
vent of Spring.
There's no better omen, of springs open
Than the note of the robin, its resonance,
adore,
! Thus sing on, joyful robin! Your music
so free,
All Nature! seems-unfolding, to your
sweet melody.
