April Refrain

 

Bird with breast of russet red

Perched herald’s cry echoing

Listen to hear what’s been said

“It’s Spring! I sing, I sing”

 

Repeated here and much more

Joy to end winter ailing

Simple song to spirit soars

“It’s Spring! I sing, I sing”

And what a joyous time of year it is. I've been admiring those russet-red-breasted fellows for some time now, and am always glad to see them.
