To A Cardinal


     You wake me in the morning
       As the dawn lights up the sky
     Your little heart o'er flows with joy
       For the mate who sits close by.

     You have so many different songs,
        Each one is a hym of joy.
     May all who hear your lovely tune
        Awake ! Arise ! And life enjoy.

      The heavenly Father watches you,
         His care is always near.
      Sing on, my dearly beloved friend
         The world needs songs of cheer.
