I have a Bird in spring

 I have a Bird in spring
Which for myself doth sing --
The spring decoys.

And as the summer nears --
And as the Rose appears,
Robin is gone.


Yet do I not repine
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown --
Learneth beyond the sea
Melody new for me
And will return.


Fast is a safer hand
Held in a truer Land
Are mine --
And though they now depart,
Tell I my doubting heart
They're thine.


In a serener Bright,
In a more golden light
I see
Each little doubt and fear,
Each little discord here
Removed.


Then will I not repine,
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown
Shall in a distant tree
Bright melody for me
Return.
