Suddenly, a little bird awoke
outside, beyond my window's ledge
and sweetly chirped her expectation
somewhere upon the privet hedge.
Though still the sky was dark,
unprovoked, she bravely sang.
I wondered why?
As if her little heart could understand
that soon the dawn would light her eyes.
How marvelous, how wonderful,
her little voice did chime,
awake, awake, come celebrate
Nature's beauty sublime.
My sleepy ears I could not close
to her impassioned call,
my dreams could wait, for I arose
and did look, and see, and did appreciate
the wonder of it all.
