The Birds

There is no bird song
where I now belong
no sweet whistle
midst the thorn and thistle
no gentle call
just a deathly pall
no nightingale
just ill and ail
no sweet song thrush
no love, no lust
no soaring swallow
my life now hollow
no elegant swan
all meaning now gone
so with blood on my soul
I murder the crow.
