The Blue Jays sing a song of Earth

The Blue Jays sing a song of earth –
But not as beautiful as mine
I look out the window and spring is gone –
But Summer will come in Time.

Yet Summer will leave
And Fall will come bringing Winter Along –
The Flowers will die – Leaves will fall –
Killing the Blue Jay’s Song.

The Cardinal Reds and Blue Jays come
They’ll fight for Sea and Land –
Like so many years ago –
With the British and Americans.

Now the Thaw has come
And the Birds are Back –
Some have Died – Some have been born –
The Song of the Blue Jay’s is Back.
