The Robin~
The robin is the one
The robin is the one
That interrupts the morn
With hurried, few, express reports
When March is scarely on.
The robin is the one
That overflows the noon
With her cherubic quantity,
An April but begun.
The robin is the one
That speechless from her nest
Submits that home and certainty
And sanctity are best.

Thanks for sharing such a lovely poem. I love Emily Dickinson.
I love that poem. Our robins are really busy. The ground is hard so I put out bits if suet for them under the suet feeders and they gobble it up....Michelle
ohh Dickinson!
i think she has a poem on death ha?
wow!
didnt know there was a Robin!
Such a beaautiful poem. So is your Robin.
I always find that bird cheerful. Must be the red tummy.
I remember a song I learned in grade school entitled the "Red Robin" and I can still sing some few lines of it. This is a marvelous photo and now I know how it looks like. LoL.
I love robins and I love Dickinson. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful picture and lovely poem!
Great post Denise!
Kind Regards

I love robins and it is interesting to see the difference between yours and our British ones. Lovely poem too - perfect. A x
Love the poem. Plus robins always sound so cheerful, don't you think?
This is one of my favourite poems...beautiful..great picture too!
These American robins look quite different from the English ones. I, too, love Emily Dickinson. Here she has forgotten to mention, though, that the robin is also the one to check on people as soon as they start digging in their gardens. That's at least how I usually get to see them.
great poem and photo........however Robins over here are not as cute as the Robins in Britain, don't you think?

I just love robins. Both that american one and its european cousin, which does look quite a bit different. A very nice photo.
Enjoyed the poem as well.
Beautiful post.
Just posted the last episode of Baker n Potts story
Lovely photo and poem! Robins are so adorable. Have a great weekend, Denise :)
I'm glad you have enjoyed this post. Thanks again for all the lovely comments.
I loved your poem and the robin. We don't have them here in Hawaii and I liked being able to see them again.
