THE GALMPTON ROBIN

The robin sang his song to me,

When I walked out by Galmpton Quay.

Alone he sang at twilight's gleam

Beside the darkening Devon stream.

 

I am life, his sweet song said,

An angel's voice above my head,

Exulting in his melody,

The robin sang his song for me.

 

The tiny songbird touched my heart

That day beside the dreaming Dart.

My spirit soared as I passed by

And joined the robin in the sky.

 

The robin-redbreast will I seek

That sings his song by Galmpton Creek,

And sang his song of joy to me

When I walked out by Galmpton Quay.

Thanks for directing me to this poem as it was a treat to read. Also loved "The Primrose", the one about Sue the dog and others. I shall certainly read more. They are the kind of thing I like to read.
Best Wishes
