BIRDS ARE BACK IN TOWN
BIRDS ARE BACK IN TOWN
When birds don't sing in early morning, I marvel. Where can they be? What does this say to me? What could the matter be, with them or me or matter this morning?
At 4:30 , 4:45 some faint whistles, thrushes or chortles normally flow. But. Now, it is 5:27. Still, no show.
Wait and betide, none other beside, I now am constrained to do, till the birds bestir, bask, then whir a tune.
Hark! No sooner is said than, as though from the dead, comes the days' earliest tweets! Three bursts of bird sound, announcing to all around, the birds are back in town!
