Oh and McCartney III is out now . . . . . . 

Meanwhile . . . . it is still winter so

The Winter Bird Jones Very Thou sing’st alone on the bare wintry bough, As if Spring with its leaves were around thee now;  And its voice that was heard in the laughing rill, And the breeze as it whispered o’er meadow and hill, Still fell on thine ear, as it murmured along  To join the sweet tide of thine own gushing song. Sing on—though its sweetness was lost on the blast, And the storm has not heeded thy song as it passed,  Yet its music awoke in a heart that was near, A thought whose remembrance will ever prove dear; Though the brook may be frozen, though silent its voice, And the gales through the meadows no longer rejoice, Still I felt, as my ear caught thy glad note of glee, That my heart in life’s winter might carol like thee.
