Outside of my window - Robin
A Robin out side of my window on a raining day:
A poem from Noël Coward
As I awoke this morning
When all sweet things are born
A robin perched upon my sill
To signal the coming dawn.
The bird was fragile, young and gay
And sweetly did it sing
The thoughts of happiness and joy
Into my heart did bring.
I smiled softly at the cheery song
Then as it paused, a moment’s lull,
I gently closed the window
And crushed its fucking skull.

Find it in Noel Coward, Collected Verse -1999 Methuen edition.
