SING AGAIN
You sang me a song,
  'Twas the close of the year,
Sing again!
I do not remember the name
  Or the words,
'T is the same
  You listen to hear
When the window is open in spring
  And the air 's full of birds;
One calls from the branch some rare thing
And one sings on the wing
  The refrain.

You sang me a song,
  My heart thrilled to hear.
The refrain
Has run like a fillet of gold
  Through the woof
Of the cold,
  Dark days of this year.
To-night there 's a year at its start,
  The birds are aloof:
But your eyes hold the sun for my part
And the Spring 's in your heart,
  Sing again!
