The Twittering Song That The Goldfinch Does Sing

The twittering song that the Goldfinch does sing Awakens the memories of a far away Spring When the hawthorns were in their white blooms of the May And the wild born birds sung at the dawn of the day With red band around bill and brown, fawn and gold So nice for to hear and lovely to behold A goldfinch is singing on a sunlit black wattle tree A bird I do know well and often do see A beautiful bird with a familiar song Once heard that you never again could get wrong In the grove by my old home when I was a boy Learning about Nature I used to enjoy And the song of a goldfinch awakens an old memory A beautiful bird so familiar to me.
