Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson

A Child's Garden of Verses. 11. Singing

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.

1. Requiem
2. I Know Not How, But As I Count

4. About the Sheltered Garden Ground
5. Songs of Travel and Other Verses. 27. To the Muse
