Wings
of
Spring
“Does the robin sing because the cold of winter is leaving or the warmth of spring is coming? Or might he be singing because each without the other would lessen both?”
-- Craig D. Lounsbrough
The song of hope returned last night at three
A gentle trill from out my window heard
My spirits rose and I was filled with glee
To hear the chirp of spring’s first “early bird”
My outdoor lamp cast light on his red breast
His wings were still as on a shrub he sat
I knew his nightly song meant I’d not rest
Still I extended him a welcome mat
He sang as if to say, “Spring will arrive”
I knew the jays and finches should come soon
And then the frailest flowers would revive
As if awakened by the robin’s tune
In summer a full chorus will rehearse
And in their glory, hopeful hearts immerse
