Melodious Symphony

Spring the magical season of natural splendour, 
It's glory brightens and blooms every life, 
Birds chirp in meadows and call for their mates;
The tap-tap of the woodpeckers, 
And their courtship dances, 
Welcome the mating season in cheer.

The bold Ashy prinia with perky tail
Found in thickets, the jungle mynahs 
Seen in noisy groups at sunset, 
The spotted owlet with a hooting sound, 
Seen in banyan and peepal trees, 
Are sights of delight after a dreary winter.

The white-browed wagtail, 
Scurrying in open spaces wagging its tail, 
The pond heron with its yellow eyes, 
And the Asian koel singing kik kik, 
His mate too joining, singing kuoo kuoo, 
Create a symphony of magical melody.
