And in the distance could be heard
What might've been a whispered word
I thought I heard a sigh or two
And instantly I thought of you
Just beyond and further still
The shadow of a larger hill
Moves between me and my view
And interrupts my thought of you
Then I see a Robin fly
Across my view and into the sky
I thought perhaps he somehow knew
Why he appeared instead of you
Silent owl just floated by
The moon black in the summer sky
And I'm still here beneath this tree
Wondering when you'll speak to me
