The Birds of Heartstone

As the geese flew north The honking cries Could be heard In clear Autumn skies Winter came Blustery snow fell During the night Robin redbreasts and Castle Sparrows Could be heard At first light The King of Air Fed all the birds at the Castle During the day, He took food Down to the forest Beautiful as winter can be Food was spare The King made sure No bird, would go hungry Castle Sparrows Fluttered here and there Earning their keep, by picking up all sorts of things The Castle was tidy, as wished by the King of Air Robins, strutted around Puffing out their red feathers Amusing all who took walks In the castle grounds Winter began to thaw The birds of spring Called out joyously Birds could be seen Everywhere Amongst the fresh green Birds of every colour Took to the air Flew amongst the Whispering Trees You could hear birds singing Everywhere Heartstone Eagles Circled high Above a castle Traversing the mountain Daily patrols Watching all of the sky
