    The woosel cock so black of hue,
    With orange-tawny bill,
    The throstle with his note so true,
    The wren with little quill--
    . . . .
    The finch, the sparrow, and the lark,
    The plain-song cuckoo grey,
    Whose note full many a man doth mark,
    And dares not answer nay.

mornings are strangely silent where once they were filled with
the beauty of bird song.
