Duty Bound
Outside my window, early each morning,
musical note of a cuckoo calling,
Soft and sweet does her musical notes flow,
Early each morning, outside my window!
What ever the weather, come snow or rain,
I hear the divine melodious strain,
Perched on the tree, like a flute in feather,
Come snow or rain, what ever the weather!
Open the curtains, I let in the dawn,
She looks at me to wish me a good morn,
Brightens my day like a million lanterns,
I let in the dawn, open the curtains!
duty bound she is, like ordained by fate,
Could she be the soul of a long lost mate?
a childhood friend with a forgotten wish?
Like ordained by fate, duty bound she is!
