Legend Of The Thorn Bird

Long ago and far away
The thorn bird sang
For just one day.
Silent until a
thorn bush he found.
In that place he made
His lovely sound.
The thorn birds tune
Played up in heaven
Beyond the moon
For just one time
He sang his tune.
His singing voice
was sweet and clear
Bringing joy to all who hear.
Even in heaven way up high
It brought a tear to the masters eye
When his singing stopped
the whole world cried.
As the lovely singer
faded and died.
He cheered the world
For just one morn
Then impaled himself
Upon the longest thorn.
