Springtime Meadow
Hark the skylark sings o'er meadow.
Sings or fights to let rivals know;
the robin claiming territory.
Sings his claim, his sincerity.
A blackbird cock sings his claim so.
The rooks in yonder rookery.
Caw, peck and claw in mockery.
To let their life mate, their proud beau.
Hark the skylark sings.
To pursue an act, thievery.
A double act of mockery.
South, a copse borders the meadow.
Come the noon, it's all in shadow.
West, east, north, dry stone rockery.
Hark the skylark sings.
