Songs out of Doors

A gentle chorus of verses opens this collection, inviting listeners into a world where the rustle of leaves and the trill of feathered singers become the language of the heart. Each poem unfolds like a quiet sunrise, offering vivid snapshots of countryside scenes, moonlit valleys, and garden paths. The rhythm is simple yet musical, echoing the natural cadence of the birds themselves.

Through the eyes of a keen observer, familiar feathered companions such as the veery, song‑sparrow, Maryland yellow‑throat, and whip‑poor‑will step onto the stage. Their distinct calls are woven into lyrical portraits that capture the changing seasons, the hush of dusk, and the tender nostalgia of childhood moments beside a lumber‑mill. The poems balance tender emotion with keen natural detail, creating a tapestry that feels both personal and universal.

Listeners will find comfort in the recurring refrain of “sweet—sweet—sweet—very merry cheer,” a reminder that even the smallest creature can offer solace and joy. Ideal for anyone who loves the hush of nature and the soft poetry of everyday wonder.
