Raindrops glistening
In the springtime air
Blossoming tulips
Resurrect life
Magnificent sound echoes
A song so pure
Its rhythm infectious
Dancing off leaves
Red amongst the trees,
Gentle verses
Sway with the wind
Clarity sets when inhaled
Anticipation of sunrise
With pleasant melodies
Melodic phrases by the pair
More elaborate sung by she
Dedicated to the young
A brief hymn
Tweet with accents
Communicate a need
Attractive calls
Set a dulcet tone
Admired by all
Of whom hear
For the cardinal sings the sweetest tune.
