A Mocking Bird Is Singing - Poem by Nellie Isabelle Steward Cooper
Oh mocking bird in the
dark cedar singing...
The day came on
And the day departed
You sing by the light
That has passed away...
In the dark of the cedar tree
Remember the day and the hour
That seemed forever
But passed
And one star shines for now
And one star now to wish upon
Keep singing, oh mocking bird
I am listening, ... I am listening
I am listeningin my heart
