A February Evening

In the cool of a late February evening in the park of the town The magpies are singing just after sundown And the starlings to their roosting trees quickly do fly As the shades of night do darken the evening sky The Summer is ending as Autumn draws near On what can be quite a pleasant time of year Soon the leaves on the deciduous trees will be turning brown Autumn a lovely time of year in the park of the town I hope to be living to welcome the Spring To hear in September the male blackbird sing When the weather is pleasant around twenty degrees And the nesting birds sing on the bushes and trees As the fading twilight to darkness gives way At the end of what has been a nice Summer's day.
