My Dear Calpernia Mockingbird- once again your voice I heard, singing in the night.
With joy my heart was over filled, and deep within my soul I thrilled, to hear such joyous sounds, echoing the glades around, serene, profound.
I wish I had the sight, to see you dancing in the night, with graceful step to delight, the eye, but mist and moonlight both combined to hide your form, and make me blind and I could only stand and stare- and be content to hear you there, singing in the night.
Being charmed I fell asleep, lulled by your song in slumber deep- to dream of you once more ascending, to that starlit realm unending, there to take your ease.That you are mortal I am aware, and know that you are truly fair- so please don't make me wait too long, to find enchantment in your song!
