Every 10th word

The robin is the one
That interrupts the morn
hurried, few, express reports
When March is scarcely on.

robin is the one
That overflows the noon
With cherubic quantity,
An April but begun.

The robin is one
That speechless from her nest
Submits that home certainty
And sanctity are best.
