Birds In Winter

Birds In Winter
Mrs. A. A. Whetstone

In the sunny Southland,
Where the trees stay green,
Birdies from the Northland
Everywhere are seen.

They're back to greet their neighbors,
Who always stay at home
And keep the homeland cherry
While other birdies roam.

They stay to make you happy,
To tell you spring is near;
They stay all through the summer
And sing you songs of cheer.

And when their work is finished
And cooler grow the days,
They leave you pleasant memories
To brighten winter days.
