The Magpies Are Singing

The weather is calm with a chill in the slight breeze
In the depths of Winter close to zero degrees
A clear sky full of stars such a beautiful sight
And the magpies are singing in the town park tonight
The birds who do sing every day of the year
At night in their breeding Season them one does often hear
Warbling on the high trees in the park of the town
Their beautiful songs their claim to bird renown
The weather with the past few days has been cold and dry
Six weeks from the calendar Spring in the southern July
But the first of September is not far away
The Spring it is nearing with every new day
The clear sky full of stars is a beautiful sight
And the magpies are singing in the town park tonight.
