Birds Sing

Your song is one of the loveliest sounds in nature

It seems you are calling back and forth, you chorister

Sounds of joy and communication

This beautiful language which I hear

It is an inborn instinct in you

You can learn the songs of others

Birds like yourself I call crooners

If you were a caged canary

The air is filled with melody

If you were the great brownish-grey sparrow

If you were the mimicking mocking bird

Or parrots imitating sounds they hear

You are born with the instinct to give harmony

Some learning takes place too, with musicality

I know you birds have dialect in your song

Your sweet euphony will play on and on

The song of the same kind of bird sounds

Different in different parts of the world

You’re a vocalist in every way

Spreading music with melodiousness

Carolling everyday with tunefulness
