Dawn gleams radiant upon night's retreating shadows, Bird songs resonate in trees, fields and meadows; With lusty exuberance they serenade the morn, To an enthralling ensemble the day is born!
In multi toned cadence magpie robins trill, The koel's call rises to a crescendo shrill. Pretty parakeets squawk while on the wing, Honey-voiced sunbirds twitter and sing.
Mynas chatter, babblers merrily scold, Clamorous each conference these sisters hold! The bulbuls chirp and some a tuneful melody whistle, Music bursts forth from branch, bramble and thistle!
A steady staccato punctuates the mirthful band ' A shy barbet proclaims it is close at hand. The gorgeous oriole intones a jarring pitch! The pheasant crow holds sway in a baritone rich!
Crow, pigeon, bee-eater, munia or dove, Even the shrieking kites that soar high above, Each, an undisputed star of this wondrous euphony, This bewitching, beguiling, ethereal symphony!
