TO THE FIRST ROBIN

by: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)

      ELCOME, welcome, little stranger,
      Fear no harm, and fear no danger;
      We are glad to see you here,
      For you sing "Sweet Spring is near."
       
      Now the white snow melts away;
      Now the flowers blossom gay:
      Come dear bird and build your nest,
      For we love our robin best.

"To the First Robin" is reprinted from Louisa May Alcott: Her Life, Letters, and Journals. Ednah D. Cheney. Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1889.
