Each day I awake at dawn
And there to greet me
Is the glorious sound,
The glorious sound of a robin.
Its melodic chant touches me,
And shows me how lucky,
How lucky I am.
Today was different,
As I know each day is different.
The robin was silent
Until it was awakened,
Awakened by a raucous noise,
The raucous call of a rook.
So today, like every day,
Will be different,
As it started out that way,
Even before I arose.
