Birdsong Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: At the Campsite by Dan Gibson From the Solitudes album entitled: Algonguin Suite  Photographer: Lang Elliott Birdsong by Linda L. Dowd I awoke to the cooing Of a dove on the sill, And to the sweet melody Of a meadowlark's trill. The robins were chirping As they welcomed in spring, And from up in the treetops, Tiny sparrows did sing. The mew-calls of catbirds And the buntings’ loud voicing, Joined the musical refrains Of birdsong rejoicing. Goldfinches did twitter, Hummingbirds hummed in tune, With thrushes and starlings And the lone call of loon. The orioles were whistling As scarlet tanagers sang, And all through the morning Their sweet musicals rang. Chickadees and blackbirds And cardinals and jays, Joined the chorus of warblers In a sing-song of praise. I awoke to a morning Filled with glorious singing, Of songbirds rejoicing What the new day was bringing. “Happiness is a state of mind. Think happy! ~ Be happy!” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

SweetEarthyOne~ I adored reading this ... and it sings a song of it's own~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

"Of songbirds rejoicing What the new day was bringing." Loved the catalogue of songbirds, but my favorite part was the message of hope and the reason for their song...thanks for the uplifting... |

May they (nor the Spring) ever be 'silent!'... This 'penning' is a fine tribute to our feathered brethren and to Spring! applause!! |
