In cooling shade of bluebell's meadow,
secluded host to lone willow's weep,
perched songsters perform a feathered score;
from outstretched branches, melodies sweep

In tenor chirp, sing, sure winged sparrows;
serenade peaks with their upward breasts;
a breeze blown swoon gives sway to silent bells,
prompting a dance for the musical guests

Aloft and amid tinged shadows of green,
sanctum from sky is the willow in lea;
each kindred of flight alighting to limbs,
accompanies the choir in the tree
