Lyrics Winter Words, Op. 52: Proud Songsters 'Thrushes, Finches and Nightingales' - Benjamin Britten , Sir Peter Pears
The
thrushes
sing
as
the
sun
is
going
And
the
finches
whistle
in
ones
and
pairs
And
as
it
gets
darker,
nightingales
in
bushes
pipe
Pipe
as
they
can
when
April
wears
As
if
all
time
were
theirs
These
are
brand-new
birds
of
twelve
months'
growing
Which
a
year
ago
were
less
than
twain
Nor
finches
were,
nor
nightingales,
nor
thrushes
But
only
particles
of
grain
and
earth
and
air
and
rain
