The Nightengale Calls

The Nightengale calls
all night and all day
Persuasive sweet song
trying to say

What's in his heart
what he desires
Releasing his wants
who he admires

His melody warbles
deep from his throat
Projecting his love
with each treble note

Straining each stanza
achieving perfection
Pouring his heart out
in her direction

Molding his song
making it mellow
Giving it wings
painted in yellow

Lyrics of passion
formed without words
Attracting attention
of feminine birds

Many will listen
enjoy the sweet song
Meant to persuade
and bring her along

To his direction
to his radiant gaze
Charmed by his singing
each lovely phrase

One little damsel
will heed his sweet call
Respond to his voice
in love with him fall

Be drawn to his way
and to his nest
Recognize him
above all the rest

The Nightengale calls
he knows what to say
with words made of melody
in his own special way.
