 I heard just today
the sweet plaintive song
of the Mourning Dove

spying his soft gray brown form
sitting lonely,in my old oak tree
he sings a melody of gentle sighs
that speaks of love so true...

there is a sadness in his quiet voice
as call he must for his mate
sweet and low his honeyed coos
fills the damp still air...

in rain and chill, sing he must
and find his one true love
to build a nest to share
or once anon fly away
his sad song to sing...

oh sweet bird
the mourning dove
searching for
his lady love

paired for life
the story goes
where she went
no one knows

What a pretty girl (or boy?), and that background is just PERFECT!
