A Song For The Return Of Birds

________________________________________________
Title:     A Song For The Return Of Birds
Author: Howard V. Sutherland [More Titles by Sutherland]

Haste, little songsters, and return
To your nests in the silent wood;
The birches are lonely and they yearn
For your twittering brotherhood.
The leaves are green on the wakened trees
And the snow has left the moss;
The sighing breeze
With its symphonies
Suggests our greatest loss--
Haste, little birds, haste home!

Haste little songsters, for the Spring
Has come with her laughing train
Of radiant blossoms; and now the King
Is here, and the pattering rain.
The nights are warm and the days are long,
There is no more ice or frost;
And oh! we long
For a songbird's song,
For a music the woods have lost--
Haste, little birds, haste home!


[The end]
