The Wood Thrush Is Not Cheery
It's dusk, almost an hour from sunset
and the wood thrush is not cheery;
his melody is a whisper heard in a lot,
where he sang with others happily!
The wood thrust with auburn wings and round belly
couldn't find a stream in a nearby forest and fled
fled here to drink from the water fountain color grey
brushed by a sudden darkness that spread dread!
Sing out loud, little wood thrush and uplift my low spirit;
evening is approaching quickly with its turbid shadows,
we'll shiver thinking of the fear so frightening to admit...
oh, wait: we can alter the mood of our dreary thoughts!
I'm wondering why the wood thrush is not cheery,
has he lost all the enthusiasm for unclear reasons?
It's a phase he must go though to regain full harmony...
when despair leaves and he'll sing again with his sibilings!
