Two robins on the lawn; One was singing a lover's song. The Lady Robin was shy and trim, And kept a proper distance from him. He walked toward her, with song so sweet It would take any damsel off her feet. She listened demurely, with head on one side As though the great question she would decide. Just then, down from the blue A very dapper robin flew. He took his place beside the maid And she never acted a bit afraid. The first robin kept singing the sweetest song, And all the time was walking along. He reached her; she must have had a streak of yellow, For she flew away with the other fellow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN HARBOR by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE BIRD CONVERSATIONS, SELECTION by FARID OD-DIN MOHAMMAD EBN EBRAHIM ATTAR DAVIDS ELEGIE UPON JONATHAN by JOSEPH BEAUMONT SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 51 by BLISS CARMAN FIRST WIFE TO THE SECOND by GLENNA MORRIS CLEVENGER POT-POURRI by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON EPIGRAM by ERNEST CHRISTOPHER DOWSON |
