Sarah Goslee Reed: Music
I Hear the Birds
(Sarah Goslee Reed)
I HEAR THE BIRDS by Sarah Goslee Reed
I hear the birds singing
It’s morning light they’re bringing
Across the sky through the blue to my window
I hear the birds
Phoebe calls again I hear her
From the line she is nearer
Last year’s nest is beckoning at my back door
Phoebe calls
Lonely dove cries its warning
Of heat to come after the morning
Later on she’ll coo again before the owl
Mourning dove
Daylight’s pulled in each direction
Like a piece of soft confection
Spring is sweet like the song
Of the bird as day grows long
