SONGS FOR MARCH: THE WISH by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM

First Line: MY WINDOW SHOWS THE MARCH SNOW COME
Last Line: THOUGH THEY ARE VERY NEAR.
Subject(s): WISHES;

My window shows the March snow come
Stalking, swaying towards my door;
And on his shoulder is a bird
That I have seen before.

But he will pass, as strangers pass,
And I shall never, never hear
The music of his shoulder-bird
Though they are very near.
