Random Poem of the Day
2 Walking so early;
3Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
4 Singing so rarely.
5"Tell me, thou bonny bird,
6 When shall I marry me?"
7"When six braw gentlemen
8 Kirkward shall carry ye."
9"Who makes the bridal bed,
10 Birdie, say truly?"
11"The gray-headed sexton
12 That delves the grave duly.
13"The glow-worm o'er grave and stone
14 Shall light thee steady;
15The owl from the steeple sing,
16 'Welcome, proud lady.' "
