Seven birds sing to me in the morning
From a tree on the block
I know there are winter
Birds and summer birds
I cannot tell which is which, there
Are different sounds one
I believe is a blue jay’s call
They sing, I get up, no alarm
Nothing to do but listen when they
Sing I sleep and then leisurely
Open my eyes in the winter I
Pray before waking in the spring
I have too much to hide, do not disclose
That I am sleeping to avoid the
Day the work even joy I would gain
If I could sing to awaken you, my love.
