 Catbird’s Song Catbird sitting in the dead gone tree… she’s shrilling sounds of mockery, wish she’d sing a song so pure she lets me know my love is sure here she comes swooping down on me mockin’ sounds of rivalry, takes o’er yard like she knows it’s hers lets me know my love is sure soft gray wing, she floats on air, takes up orphans for to care, she clucks, then coos, she even purrs, lets me know my love is sure catbird, catbird, stay me home ne’er too far should you roam, come and thrill the cockleburs, let me know my love is sure. |

soft gray wing, she floats on air, takes up orphans for to care, Karilea - This is grand. The birds were singing their little hearts out to-day after such a harsh winter. Enjoyed reading this to-night. hugs, Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Thank you, my ladies...even though the catbird can be quite ornery... its voice CAN fill the air with beautiful music, even IF stolen...  |

You phrase the thanks we all feel when we're content with our love. Sometimes I have to work a bit to find your meaning, which is good. This one just flies right in. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

The catbird may be a master of mimicry but you, Karilea, are a true, pure poetess.. believe in what your heart feels... |
