Edward Ibeh Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Songbird, the American Robin

Awake, listening in the wee hours of the morning
      Hosanna! The mellifluous tweets I hear, so alluring
An American Robin singing its love song with such clarity
      Captivating me with a hauntingly beautiful melody

I'm entranced, in rapt attention, as I sit by the windowsill
           Time is gold, glittering; almost at a standstill
      Oh heaven above, prithee, I fervently beseech thee
     Grant me a thousand more moments such as these

  It sings of unfettered joy, and my heart starts to dance 
       I'm seduced; lulled into a mesmerizing trance
   Oh heaven above, prithee, don't let it fly away too soon
       For its cheerful song sends my spirit to the moon!
