Little Wren

I looked out to a morning drear Nothing there to cause me cheer, But when I looked outside again Upon my gate there sat a wren. God bless this tiny little thing The wren, he now began to sing. He sang such a happy tune His sweet refrain dispelled my gloom. It was such a joyful song, My unwelcome dreary morning, gone.
