Poem: “When the Snowbird Sings”

by Katie Furman on Dec 06, 2013 in Poetry

When the Snowbird Sings

The snowbird sings his winter song
And sings it merrily,
When frost is sparkling in the sun
There on the holly tree.

The lovely song of tinkling bells
Is bright and sweet to hear,
And like the white and silent snow
Falls softly on the ear.

So tiny snowbird sing your song
And bless this icy dawn,
My heart beats to your melody
Long after you are gone.
