SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   In Challenge 18, Eluned said "The woods would be silent indeed if only the best birds sang."  Bradypus suggested this quote as a Challenge! idea.  So, what song can you Challenge!rs write with that quote as the premise?

Three Voices by belter
(Tune:  Twa Corbies)

belter's Comments:  Sorry about getting this in late.  I had to work a couple of nights, and put the time to good use writing this.

As I did stroll the wooded lane
I heard three birdies as they sang
Each one sang so fair and long-o
But which one sang the sweetest song-o? 
But which one sang the sweetest song?

No other song shall err be heard
From woods land creature, frog or bird
Let no lesser voice be raised-o
So that the best will be praised-o
So that the best will be praised

The nightingale did sweetly trill
With cheer the wood her voice soon filled
She sang so bright and fair-o
With swells so free of care-o 
With swells so free of care

The whippoorwill called long and low
Its lonesome song so full of woe
To fill the wood with tones so sad-o
It broke the heart of many a lad-o
It broke the heart of many a lad

The owl raised its haunting call
That echoed through the trees so tall
It chills the heart of man and beast-o
Its question oft disturbs the peace-o-o
Its question oft disturbs the peace

Then each one claimed the victory
And on they sang in harmony
Now frog, wren and robin, and raven-o
All joyfully there voices send-o
All joyfully there voices send
