I don't know why the blackbird sings.A Poem by Chris Shaw
I don't know why the blackbird sings,
though I am grateful that he brings to me a tuneful melody. At dawn he greets me with a song, while perched upon the silver birch. He charms my mood with poetry. If ever I should fail to hear those soulful notes so sweet and clear, they'll be no hope of saving me. For I'll be lost forever more where sounds of nature can't be heard and all the garden birds have flown and left me to eternity.
