Oh cuckoo! <br />You sing implacably. <br />Is it you, <br />Or the song, <br />Of my heart, <br />In the enchanting spring? <br />The song that, <br />Few can hear, <br />But most don' t. <br /> <br />Oh cuckoo! <br />Don't sing, <br />Please don' t sing. <br />Because, as you sing, <br />Tears stream, <br />Down my cheeks, <br />Inexorably, <br />Reducing me to a child, <br />Lost, <br />And standing at, <br />The crossroads, <br />Of dreams and reality.<br /><br />maitreyee joshi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-cuckoo/
