Robin in the green,

camouflaged unseen,

always stands alone,

and in the summer gone.

 

Through arctic ice and snow,

you’re always there on show,

pitched on a handle’s fork,

whilst the gardener works.

 

Despite the bitter chill,

your sight brings festive thrill,

iconic feathered friend,

who stays ‘til winters end.

 

Solitary bird,

your song remains unheard,

hiding in the green,

camouflaged, unseen.

Of what do I dream?

I dream of the Peaks,

a cosy warm cottage,

for solitary weeks.

 

A welcoming hearth,

and an open fire,

somewhere to sit,

and dream of the ‘shire.

 

A handsome oak bureau,

where I sit and write,

with an old lattice window,

to gaze at the night.

 

An old chiming clock,

to signal the end,

and an old scruffy dog,

as my one faithful friend.

 

Of what do I dream?

I dream of the Peaks,

a cosy warm cottage,

for solitary weeks
