Robin
As delicate light infuses the dark
A simple song hails morn
It’s single sweetness serenades
The chorus of the dawn
And as the light grows stronger still
More voices join the tune
And darkness leaves with dignity
And takes with him the moon
This morning choir is led by one
A little robin bird
Its melodies are beautiful
The finest ever heard
He’s first to sing at morning
And last to sing at night
So as you watch the setting sun
Let robin sing goodnight
