An Opera

A nightingale by night

A canary by day

Echoing through twilight

Melodic tunes you play

Chanting away a sea of waves

You plant songs into every ear

Soften hearts harmony engraves

A voice so sweet, a voice so rare

For generations your voice lives on

Your cry cheerful, never a lament

But stings the golden rays of the sun

The tuned legendary instrument

Moulded by a master

To which all ears adore

A world without your song

Is a world that’s all wrong
