The Dawn Chorus

13 8 3
                                    

A prelude to the coming light

An overture

To prepare for the flight

Of the coming day

To the skies they pray

For gentle winds

They sing their song

For Winter nights

and summers long.

They sing for love

An alarm call

Eloquent arias

That fade in fall

Their souls embedded

Into each call

That is

The Dawn Chorus.
