SPRING by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT

First Line: BIRD AT MY WINDOW
Last Line: SING ON FULL CHEERILY.
Subject(s): SPRING;
Bird at my window,
Why dost thou sing?
Thought thou the spring
Came with the dawn's glow?

Thy song so sweet
Opened my eyes,
With glad surprise,
May buds to greet.

It is as yesterday,
Not warm for long,
So cease thy song,
'Tis winter not May.

No, no, sing to me,
For it is spring;
If thou can'st sing.
Sing on full cheerily.
