Wonder of Birdsong

W hen duskfall glows,it brings a hundred sounds O ver the vales, birds echo a chant’s rhyme N otes tuneful as flint of stardust abounds; D elighting a nightscape with lilts sublime… E ach mystic hum rings like an abbey's bell R arer than chorales of seas's rhapsody; F luttering mildly while my own thrills swell U ntil warblers drift off , hushed on a tree… L istening still, to pale music’s farewell. ....................... 1/07/2016 Wonderful- Acrostic Contest Sponsored by John Hamiton
