A Little Wren Sang Out

Perched upon a leafless branch a little Wren sang out

Strange I thought to wish to sing in such a barren tree,

Yet his song was full of happiness, of that I had no doubt

For in his sweet sweet warblings I heard felicity,

Oh such a heartfelt song echoed through the air

Envious was I of him in his carefree reverie

What reason he for such joy, to sing without a care

I wished he could wrap some up, and send it down to me.

Ahhh!! It is amazing how they sound so cheerful during the spring, summer and fall. At one time they would wake me in the morning and sing me to sleep at night. Sara
