the cheerful trill of a robin.
I enjoy the warble of a blackbird,
the echo of a songthrush.
I now miss the twitter of a skylark
and I've never heard a nightingale.
But it's all just pleasant British birdsong,
less than human musical feats,
and exaggeration is surely wrong
as done by Shelley and Keats.
