BIRDS in the green of my garden <br />Blackbirds and throstle and wren, <br />Wet your dear wings in the tears that are Spring's <br />And so to your singing again! <br />Birds in my blossoming orchard, <br />Chaffinch and goldfinch and lark, <br />Preen your bright wings, little happy live things; <br />The May trees grow white in the park! <br /> <br />Birds in the leafy wet woodlands, <br />Cuckoo and nightingale brown, <br />Sing to the sound of the rain on green ground-- <br />The rain on green leaves dripping down! <br />Fresh with the rain of the May-time, <br />Rich with the promise of June, <br />Deep in her heart, where the little leaves part, <br />Love, like a bird, sings in tune!<br /><br />Edith Nesbit<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/may-song-2/
