I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
- Oliver Herford

As December nears its end, Discover Classical is honored to join you in remembering and celebrating the people and memories that bring light to the season.
