You cannot match the robin
When summer comes along,
Yet winter would be empty
Without your brisk, bright song.
Your wings hold naught of color
Which makes the oriole glow,

To shine against the snow.
Sometimes, when I feel lonely,
I listen as you sing:
And then the bare, bleak winter
Seems like another spring.
