The disturbing chatter of birds
The black moonless sky
The silent windless nights
Blanketed the earth with deary sigh
Then you came along, with smile so bright
Made my life turn around and so right
Changed the sails of ships around
Painted this world with colors abound
The birds are now singing
The full moon lights up the sky
The soft wind ruffles the leaves
The beauty of the earth magnifies!!!

This is the original poem -
The Sorrow of Love
by W. B. Yeats
The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth's old and weary cry.
And then you came with those red mournful lips,
And with you came the whole of the world's tears,
And all the sorrows of her labouring ships,
And all the burden of her myriad years.
And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves
Are shaken with earth's old and weary cry.
