I Sing of Turtle Doves

I Sing of Turtle Doves I am painting pictures of things unseen, and of places I have never been. I am painting masterpieces with my pen, and I sing of Turtle Doves. I Sing songs of things I know not of...Bellowing words of love. Gleeful greetings, I send out, of things which I know not about. To someone’s heart long ago an Englishman aimed his love... So, I sing of Turtle Doves, and leaping lords. I have never seen a Partridge nor do I have a pear tree. Yet I Sing the words every year Wholeheartedly. “Two Turtle Doves”. “Three French hens ...and a Partridge in a Pear tree”. I even sing of the “Swimming Swans. “ My favorite part is when you get to hold that note. “Five Golden Rings." Then you start again...!
