In Summer Showers A Skreeking Noise Is Heard

In summer showers a skreeking noise is heard Deep in the woods of some uncommon bird It makes a loud and long and loud continued noise And often stops the speed of men and boys They think somebody mocks and goes along And never thinks the nuthatch makes the song Who always comes along the summer guest The birdnest hunters never found the nest The schoolboy hears the noise from day to day And stoops among the thorns to find a way And starts the jay bird from the bushes green He looks and sees a nest he's never seen And takes the spotted eggs with many joys And thinks he found the bird that made the noise
