A knocking sound on the window sill,
When a moment before, all was still...
A startling sound that makes you leap,
Or even wakes you from your sleep:
This is the woodpecker.
A beautiful head - - - of brilliant red,
And a colorful body, too...
While he taps on, so noisily on,
Seemingly taunting you:
This is the woodpecker.
