    The nightingale has a lyre of gold,
    The lark's is a clarion call,
    And the blackbird plays but a boxwood flute,
    But I love him best of all.
    For his song is all the joy of life,
    And we in the mad spring weather,
    We two have listened till he sang
    Our hearts and lips together.

comes unheralded by the return of the birds, and the early
mornings are strangely silent where once they were filled with
