The blackbird is a bonny bird
I love his mourning suit
And song in the spring mornings heard
As mellow as the flute
How sweet his song in April showers
Pipes from his golden bill
As yellow as the kingcup flowers
The sweetest ditty still..........a verse from "The Blackbird" by John Clare
This shot is very cropped so is not as clear as I would like!
Oh Carol, these April showers have extended to May. That's what I am seeing right now from my window: rain, rain, and more rain. The garden is happy, I must say.
Blackbirds sing so beautifully after a shower - their voice is so clear and strong. Lovely capture and equally lovely verse from John Clare that sums up the blackbirds song so well. I love poetry and this is a great choice
