Ode To A Robin lyrics

Born here and fledged

Out to find this world

To discover yourself

In its spanses grand

You found your mate

Then returned back here

To your grey guardian

Now gone before you

Year after year returning

After winter's long rest

Listening for your voice

Before dawn, before dark

Your colours faded too

They lost their brilliance

But today you are gone

Your mate mourning you

No more shall we share

Strolls in the green grass

Hunting worms close by

Whilst labouring as one

No more shall you sing

Choruses heard in harmony

Accompanied by the wrens

And a trilling flute's sonata

Loss is so much more later

Realized in somber silence

A requiem by your peers

An ode to an ordinary robin
