I Heard a Bird Sing.......

Carolina wren
 I found an old book of "famous quotations" that belonged to my great-great aunt Angie. On the yellowed, last page, she had penned this beautiful poem by Oliver Herford (1863 - 1935)
 
song sparrow
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember
We are nearer to spring
Than we were in September
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
