TIME to sing!
Last night I heard a robin singing in the rain, And the raindrop’s patter made a sweet refrain, Making all the sweeter the music of the strain.

I have this against you! (Jared Waterbury, “Meditations and Prayers” 1840) Have we lost or left our first love? If so, then has God something against us.
