Victor Buhagiar Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Call of the Nightingale

The forlorn valley seems to beckon me,
Only one cottage midst so many trees,
So many shrubs where nightingales are wont
To find repose in any place they please.

Few are those that visit the bleak, sad vale,
And hear the sweet song of the nightingales,
Their trebles with high and low crescendos.
I wonder what really are their tales.

Above many flowers they fly in glee,
Drink from sweet flowing water of a rill,
Enchant their love mates with melodies spree.
Evening comes, the sun sets behind the hill.

I wish that lonely cottage was my place,
There I would live in quiet, peace and grace.

Joanna Daniel June 7, 2021 at 11:50 PM Ah! I too like that cottage, Victor, never heard a nightingale sing so far, but I'm sure they are melodious:)

Judy Ball June 7, 2021 at 7:19 AM My dream home is a lovely cottage in the hills surrounded by nature. This is lovely. It reminds me of my grandma's cabin where we would sit on the porch in the evening listening to the Whippoorwills. Good stuff. God Bless, JB

Unseeking Seeker June 7, 2021 at 7:02 AM Beautiful poem, Victor! Nightingale is overrated ... have you heard the sound of the Indian koel? https://youtu.be/bKlta1uANwU

Eve Roper June 7, 2021 at 6:50 AM Great scenery, a peaceful place I would also love.

Ann Gilmour June 7, 2021 at 5:21 AM how beautiful dear Victor for the sound of birdsong has such a calming affect upon me, as Vijay says 'soothing the sound of natures melodies' I have a beautiful blackbird that visits me each nevening and his repertoire is extensive. However, I have never heard a nightingale sing. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Vijay Pandit June 7, 2021 at 4:38 AM Such a beautiful write, Victor. Soothing sounds of nature's melodies. Your words paint a heavenly scene. Excellent, as always.
