And a Nightingale Sings

It's another lonely night 
 shared with the glowing moon,
 while listening to a Nightingale 
 continuously sing a sad tune.

 What has a songbird 
 to be so sullen about?
 Does it trill in anger? 
 Is its heart filled with doubt?

 Some birds mate for life,
 while all others they spurn.
 That is a wise lesson
 all humans should learn.

 Are birds more capable
 of being loyal to love?
 There's a reason the symbol
 of love is portrayed by a dove.

 People are much too fickle
 when they smile and say,
 "I love you so very much,"
 when it's just a game they play.
