Lyrics

Sing Again

You sang me a song,
    ’Twas the close of the year,
Sing again!
I do not remember the name
    Or the words,
’Tis the same
    You listen to hear
When the window is open in spring
    And the air’s full of birds;
One calls from the branch some rare thing
And one sings on the wing
    The refrain.

You sang me a song,
    My heart thrilled to hear.
The refrain
Has run like a fillet of gold
    Through the woof
Of the cold,
    Dark days of this year.
To-night there’s a year at its start,
    The birds are aloof:
But your eyes hold the sun for my part
And the Spring’s in your heart,
    Sing again!
