WELCOME, welcome, little stranger, <br />Fear no harm, and fear no danger; <br />We are glad to see you here, <br />For you sing 'Sweet Spring is near.' <br /> <br />Now the white snow melts away; <br />Now the flowers blossom gay: <br />Come dear bird and build your nest, <br />For we love our robin best.<br /><br />Louisa May Alcott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-first-born/
