BOB WHITE by FRANCIS CHARLES MCDONALD

First Line: AT MORN, WHEN FIRST THE ROSY GLEAM
Last Line: GOOD NIGHT!
Subject(s): BOBWHITES;

AT morn, when first the rosy gleam
Of rising sun proclaimed the day,
There reached me, thro' my last sweet dream,
This oft-repeated lay:
(Too sweet for cry,
Too brief for song,
'Twas borne along
The reddening sky)
@3Bob White!
Daylight, Bob White!
Daylight!@1

At eve, when first the fading glow
Of setting sun foretold the night,
The same sweet call came, soft and low,
Across the dying light:
(Too sweet for cry,
Too brief for song,
'Twas but a long,
Contented sigh)
@3Bob White!
Good Night, Bob White!
Good Night!@1
