Birds cheerfully sing my song

Floating over pastel orchards throng

Murmuring through green fields

Joyous dew increases the yields

Of damp woods and swampland thickets

Winter’s last gasp gives way to crickets

Music of new, refreshing possibilities.

Lyrics for every renewed occasion

Spanning the chorus of creation

Busy songs build dawn to noon

Leisurely strains melt into afternoon

Twilight’s dusky timpani tune

Lonesome notes to a midnight moon

Not meant for burgeoning humanities.

Cadence unique to the listener

Beats timed beauty to the petitioner

Warble of the bluebirds song of love

Carol of the Robin, coo of the Dove

Chickadees, cardinals and finch perform

Clear notes of sincerity inform

Truthful, honest pleasurabilities.

All hearts tuned to the rhythm of joy

Spring’s great chorus endlessly employ

Bird song, sunshine, starlight and ecstasy

Bringing its yearly renewing fantasy

Of blended sounds in nature’s orchestra

Awakening nature’s voice to a hoorah

Drawing Spring to sprightly temerities.
