Redbirds lyrics

Redbirds, redbirds,
       &nbsp Long and long ago,
What a honey-call you had
       &nbsp In hills I used to know;

Redbud, buckberry,
       &nbsp Wild plum-tree
And proud river sweeping
       &nbsp Southward to the sea,

Brown and gold in the sun
       &nbsp Sparkling far below,
Trailing stately round her bluffs
       &nbsp Where the poplars grow—

Redbirds, redbirds,
       &nbsp Are you singing still
As you sang one May day
       &nbsp On Saxton's Hill?
