Whippoorwill


Whippoorwill, whippoorwill

Singing at my windowsill

Chirping out his nightly trill,

Whippoorwill, whippoorwill.

 

Whippoorwall, whippoorwall,

Tweeting out his mating call.

He won't sleep tonight at all.

Whippoorwall, whippoorwall.

 

Whippoorwong, whippoorwong.

Twitters his romantic song,

Keeping me up all night long.

Whippoorwong, whippoorwong.

 

Whippoorwime, whippoorwime,

Warbles long as white stars shine.

Hail the dawn of summertime,

Whippoorwime, whippoorwime.

 

Whippoorwill, whippoorwill,

Finds his love, his song is still.

Sun comes up over the hill.

Whippoorwill, whippoorwill.

I'm a teen. I'm a Christian. I find great beauty and great ugliness in this world. I hope to make it an iota prettier with my existence.
