‘Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!’ <br />Crows the cock before the morn; <br />‘Kikirikee! kikirikee!’ <br />Roses in the east are born. <br />‘Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!’ <br />Early birds begin their singing; <br />‘Kikirikee! kikirikee!’ <br />The day, the day, the day is springing.<br /><br />Christina Georgina Rossetti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kookoorookoo-kookoorookoo/
