The twittering song that the goldfinch does sing
Awakens the memories of a far away Spring
When the hawthorns were in their white blooms of the May
And the wild-born birds sung at the dawn of the day
With red band around bill and brown fawn and gold
So nice for to hear and lovely to behold
A goldfinch is singing on a sunlit black wattle tree
A bird i do know well and often do see
A beautiful bird with a familiar song
Once heard that you never again could get wrong
In the grove by my old home when i was a boy
Learning about Nature i used to enjoy
And the song of a goldfinch awakens an old memory
A beautiful bird so familiar to me.
