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!

Thanks Aditi! That is true. We do feel very close to people and animals sometimes as if we have known them for a long time!

I guess if one was to be reincarnated there could be a worse fate than becoming a Cuckoo.
