Dawn Chorus

The noisy black crow cries: "Caw!  Caw!  Caw!"
As he sits on the roof 
Of the house next door.

"Clickety-Clack!" Mrs. Magpie calls back
Her fine feathers gleaming, 
Her tail long and black.

"Toodle-de-doo!" is the Woodpigeon's coo,
"Good morning, stop yawning,
And how do you do?"

"Everything's brill!"
Is the Robin's bright trill,
Hopping along on the window-sill,
"I'm a happy, wee chap,
With my cheery red breast,"

But the song of the Blackbird's
The one I love best.
