Religion

Singing

by Robert Louis Stevenson 1850–1894

From A Child's Garden of Verses

Religion

Of speckled eggs the birdie sings
And nests among the trees;
The sailor sings of ropes and things
In ships upon the seas.

The children sing in far Japan,
The children sing in Spain;
The organ with the organ man
Is singing in the rain.
