Oh Nightingale
Oh nightingale
Sing a song for me
A song filled
With a joyous sorrow
As only you can sing
Oh nightingale
I have built a perch for you
Carved of a soft red cedar
To make it easy to hold
And polished it
To a bright shine
So it will be smooth to touch
Oh nightingale
Please choose your notes
Very carefully
So I might fall asleep
Under the big Harvest moon
Please
Sing softly
Oh nightingale
Your song is a clever trap
As I cannot resist its beauty
Each note
Is more beautiful
Than the one before
Until without warning
I am trapped by the song
Of such a simple creature
