Some tears today for it is so hard

The way to happiness seems often barred

But I look up then and what do I see

A robin redbreast dancing just for me

He chirps and chirrups and he calls

He is so close and I am enthralled

He cocks his head and with a beady eye

He fluffs his wings and says goodbye

I watched him still as away he flew

He gladdened my heart as you used to do

And then I see the sun came out

Your message my love – no need to shout…
