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!
