"The air was full of the smell of flowers,
And the buzzing of insects, and the twittering of birds,
And there were no people, no wagons,
There was no stir of life,
Nothing going on."
~ Mark Twain,

"A noise of confused, multitudinous chirping or twittering
Issued from them

At intervals as long as they were moving;
But sometimes they ceased from motion,
And then all was silence."
~ Edwin Abbott,

"The birds were flying about and twittering with delight,
And the flowers were looking up
Through the green grass
And laughing."

From "The Happy Prince & Other Tales"

"A big round moon, slowly deepening from her pallid luster
Into burnished silver,
Hung over the Haunted Wood;
The air was full of sweet summer sounds ~
Sleepy irds twittering,
Ffreakish breezes, faraway voices
And laughter."
~ Lucy Maud Montgomery,

Quoted message said:

From "Anne of Green Gables"

"It was only the soft twitter of a bird,
But it seemed to be a peculiarly gifted bird,
For while she listened
The soft twitter

Changed to a lively whistle,
Then a trill,
A coo, a chirp, and ended in a musical mixture
Of all the notes,

As if the bird burst
Out laughing."

~ Alcott, Louisa May Alcott,
