The rhythm of my beating heart <br />A Robin bird sits still <br />He chirps a slow and lonely tune <br />Upon my windowsill <br /> <br />Under the tree beside my home <br />A small girl gently swings <br />She stops to hear the lonely tune <br />The little Robin sings <br /> <br />A passing couple yell and scream <br />As lovers do with ease <br />They pause upon the lonely tune <br />Amid the bitter breeze <br /> <br />The lonely tune the Robin sang <br />Brought tears to many eyes <br />Silence followed that lonely tune <br />And drifted through the skies<br /><br />Zoe Elsworth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/red-robin-2/
