Where Have All The Robins Gone? Poem by JoAnn McGrath

Where have all the robins gone?
They've left and gone to soon
Their empty hollow loving nests
are stilled against the moon


A Spring that was, has come and gone
The worms have dug down deep
Summer's warmth has left the earth
Fall's harvest here to reap


I beg the Winter stay away
To cruel and cold for me
But nature has it's purpose
Rest now......then you will see


Spring returns the Robin's breast
Lost in fields of flowers
Growth anew abounds on earth
The wealth of fresh Spring showers
