Birdsong, poems by peter ruellan

In a wood a bird is born


Singing to the springtime

Have you heard his voice?

Touchingly simple and pure

Birdsong in the bush!



In a summer's sky

The male bird chases the female bird

He finds love, and only once

He is playful, loving and faithful

Birdsong in the bush!



Then when the fog of September

Rolls on in,

They prepare before the cold

Some die in the winter,

But they die happy!
