STUDY-HOUR.
Ohush! you Robin, you sing and swingIn the lilac tree,And my lessons seem long when I hear your songSo happy and free.If only the hours had wings, I knowThey would flutter away,Like the bird on the tree, or the velvet bee,Or the butterfly gay.But then I know that a maid like meHas a life to live,And my heart and my mind has something to findBefore it can give.O rest you, Robin, a little whileYour voice and your wing!And then by-and-by dear Robin and IWill both sing and swing.
