“The Time of the Singing of Birds is Come.”
Solomon's Song, 2:12.
I sought the sanctum of a bird,
I wanted information;
I simply asked for just one word,
To help in dedication.
I wanted information;
I simply asked for just one word,
To help in dedication.
Chirped the birdie, “Its an honor,
If it is for the children;
For their holy, sacred corner,
I'll give you half a million.”
If it is for the children;
For their holy, sacred corner,
I'll give you half a million.”
“Little sisters, little brothers,
I've a message from above;
Told to me to tell to others,
Its a heart brim full of love.”
I've a message from above;
Told to me to tell to others,
Its a heart brim full of love.”
“While time is fresh and hope is new,
While youth is lingering nigh,
Keep noble things within thy view,
Look up toward the sky.”
While youth is lingering nigh,
Keep noble things within thy view,
Look up toward the sky.”
“I often think how the angels
Are near us both night and day,
Let us prevent evil passions,
From driving them far away.”
Are near us both night and day,
Let us prevent evil passions,
From driving them far away.”

“Just like dear, good little children,
Let's try to obedient stay,
Of the sins and strifes of this world,
And we'll hear what angels say.”
Let's try to obedient stay,
Of the sins and strifes of this world,
And we'll hear what angels say.”
