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, "I Heard A Bird Sing" from Welcome Christmas! A Garland of Poems (Viking Press, 1955) (via Make Believe Boutique)

I Heard A Bird Sing (Oliver Herford)
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing

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

This is the illustrated poem page I created for the illustrated poem book, that was sold at our end of year show. It was also a project we had to do for our course, Graphic design Level 3 year 2. We got to choose a public domain poem of our choice, and had to create an illustrated page for it. I chose ‘Rain by Oliver Herford,’ because I love rain, and cats.
It’s a mix media piece that has a water colour painted background, and a inked foreground (the rain, kitten, and girl with umbrella), put together and edited in photoshop.
