In Con Long's Grove Today

In Jerry Sheehan's Millstreet Country Park from here so far away
The pink breasted chaffinch is singing in Con Long's Grove today
And lost to view in the grey clouds of mid April in Spring
Above Bill Pad's mountain the airborne lark does sing
The low clouds of the mid Spring sky are pregnant with rain
And the shy woodcock are back to breed on Mushera again
The mountain shrubs wear their blossoms in the mild April showers
And Nature has beautified her greenery with her gift of wildflowers
The cooing of the wood pigeons is always so pleasant to hear
On the pines they build their stick nests at this time of the year
When Spring comes to old Mushera the nesting birds are on song
From dawn till evening's gloaming they do sing all day long
And the hawthorns sprouting their buds that will bloom white in May
Where the chaffinch he is singing in Con Long's Grove today.
