Birdsong can be uplifting. It has the power to cheer and give a deep feeling for life and nature.
A wee sonnet to start this lovely day
Morning has broken
The beautiful song broke the hazy dawn
Chirps the noisy chorus the birds unseen
Bringing feathered life to the early morn
Awakening sound sleepers from their dreams
Ears now awakened from a dreamless sleep
I hear the fledglings in their happy play
The warbling of the thrush and blue tits tweet
Entertain feathered friends this glo'rious day
In awe she stands with dew upon her feet
She braves the cold to where the birds doth dwell
The gath'ring of birds, a vision to keep
Until tomorrow, goodbye and farewell
A beautiful start to this day of rest
An honour to be your unfeathered guest
