THE CARDINAL by EDITH MEDBERY FITCH

First Line: I HEAR HIM SINGING, LOUD AND GAY
Last Line: IS JUST A RED FLASH IN THE TREE.
Subject(s): CARDINALS (BIRDS); SINGING & SINGERS; SPRING; SONGS;
I hear him singing, loud and gay
Before the morning melts away;
He sits upon the topmost limb,
But e'er I catch a glimpse of him
He darts away, and all I see,
Is just a red flash in the tree.
