Weathercock

Good morning weathercock, how?d you fare last night
Did the cold wind bite you, did you face up to the fright
When the leaves spin from October and whip around your tail
Did you shake from the blast and did you shiver through the gale

Give us direction, the best of goodwill
Put us in touch with fair winds
Sing to us softly, hum evening?s song
Tell us what the blacksmith has done for you

Do you simply reflect changes in the patterns of the sky
Or is it true to say the weather heeds the twinkle in your eye
Do you fight the rush of winter and hold snowflakes at bay
Do you lift the dawn sun from the fields and help him on his way

Good morning weathercock, make this day bright
Put us in touch with your fair winds
Sing to us softly, hum evening's song
Point the way to better days we can share with you

Good morning weathercock, make this day bright
Put us in touch with your fair winds
Sing to us softly, hum evening's song
Point the way to better days we can share with you
