A Poem To Be Said On Hearing The Birds Sing

Rating: 2.9


A fragrant prayer upon the air
My child taught me,
Awaken there, the morn is fair,
The birds sing free;
Now dawns the day, awake and pray,
And bend the knee;
The Lamb who lay beneath the clay
Was slain for thee.

A simple religious poem referring to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Eight syllables, then four (then repeated three more times) .

Nice poem and the feeling of dawn in its sense is briefly told by the great poet and so very interesting.
