INSPIRATION 
The cardinal woke me this morning 
«ith melody cheery and bright; 
And as he flashed past my window, 
I thrilled at the beautiful Sight, 
He's gone; but his song lingers with mo 
To lighten the cares of the daye 
Though his beauty and color have vanished, 
Their memory ever will stay. 
When I close my eyes, I still sce him; 
When I listen, I still hear him sing.
