Song Bird
Eloquent song bird, what ancient lyric do
You sing with timeless unrehearsed voice?
Unscripted from beyond memory, known to
You from your birth; in song do you rejoice?
Oft unseen, by melody your presence known,
Without effort the silent distance enriched.
Your enchanting song in the drifting wind blown,
In each melodic phrase our senses bewitched.
At each dawning, in song you are set apart,
In all your seasons a million notes you sing,
From deepest woodland thicket you pour your heart,
And to our world, unknown to you, magic bring.
