How bonnie is the blackbird

that whistles in the tree?

This little bird may lack words

but he’s a bard to me.

 

Though my heart may heavy;

his joy is always strong;

he lifts up my heart every

morn with his golden song.

 

Chorus:

 

When the sun starts to rise,

this birds beautiful cries

are the first sound that I always hear.

 

And I’m thankful he sings

for his song always brings

me a smile and a heart full of cheer.

How bonnie is the blackbird;

his feathers dark as night

yet he drives darkness backwards

with his song sparkling bright.

 

My lips, they begin smiling

as if they have no choice

because of his beguiling,

beautiful golden voice.

.

 

Chorus:

 

When the sun starts to rise,

this birds beautiful cries

are the first sound that I always hear.

 

And I’m thankful he sings

for his song always brings

me a smile and a heart full of cheer.

Thanks, I've voted for the Blackbird as my national bird for Britain because its a bird I see and hear every day in my garden; it (apart from the songthrush and the garden warbler) is the bird I most associate with the morning and sunny days in the garden.

Some people will be voting for the owl and birds of prey and birds that people only see if they live in the country but I live in a town that, though it is near to countryside and farmland, is mostly urban and the only birds you usually see are little birds like the blackbird.

I could have voted for the robin but the Robin has already got Christmas, he doesn't need to be National Bird aswell, that would just be greedy.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
