There comes the day
When their voices are heard
And resounding with it is hope
For winter's time is short
They will sing and signal
Before the dawn, a chill in the air
That spring is stealthfully nearing
And the worms will live in fear
They return every year here
The sound of flutes to soothe
Fences keep them safe some
A ready rifle guards the guests
For fledglings will appear anon
Then learning time comes again
Another cycle soars in a life
Shared with a weathered warden
