Bird of the month August The Blackbird Poem by John Clare 1 The blackbird is a bonny bird That singeth in the wood His song is in the evening heard When the red cow chews her cud His song is heard in morning loud Upon the bright white thorn While the blythe milkmaid sings as proud And holds the world in scorn. 2 O bonny is the blackbird still On top of yon fir tree On which he wipes his golden bill And blithely whistles he He sings upon the sapling oak In notes all rich and mellow Oft' have I quit towns noise, and folk In springs sweet summers weather. 3 The blackbird is a bonny bird I love his mourning suit And song in the spring mornings heard As mellow as the flute How sweet his song in April showers Pipes from his golden bill As yellow as the kingcup flowers The sweetest ditty still. . . . .
