And hear the pleasant cuckoo, loud and long—
The simple bird that thinks two notes a song.

W. H. Davies

A rainbow and a cuckoo's song
May never come together again;
May never come
This side the tomb.

W. H. Davies

When on a summer's morn I wake,
And open my two eyes,
Out to the clear, born-singing rills
My bird-like spirit flies.

To hear the Blackbird, Cuckoo, Thrush,
Or any bird in song;
And common leaves that hum all day
Without a throat or tongue.

And when Time strikes the hour for sleep,
Back in my room alone,
My heart has many a sweet bird's song -
And one that's all my own.

W. H. Davies
