| The Mockingbird Sings at Night In the dead of night when a blanket of darkness and quiet has settled over the neighborhood, the only sounds one hears are crickets chirping maybe a frog or two, a dog barking in the distance. Then piercing the night air, comes loud and clear the varied song of the mockingbird. ~*~ When all other birds sleep, from them nary a peep, the mockingbird sings for all he is worth, as though his heart would burst. Of what is he so proud? Why is it nature's plan for the mockingbird alone to sing so sweetly, to sing so fervently, in the dead of night? ~*~ Author: Harry E. Gilleland |
