Warble

And echoing the liquid warble of birds
Came long before men gathered together to sing
Fine polished carols to delight the ear.
And the winds whistling in the hollow of reeds
Taught them to play the rustic hemlock pipe.
Then little by little they learned the sweet complaints
That the pipe pours forth at the fingering-pulse of the players
Heard in the trackless forests, the shepherds' dells. --On the Nature of Things, Lucretius
