Grey morn dawns upon the
land,
All is still without,
Where have they gone those
noisome birds,
Such preening calls their
clout
Yestermorn brought loud
and clear,
The calls of nature
'round,
Has the autumn come so
swift,
That naught there be for
sound
Oh, return my feathered
friends,
Natures wake up call,
For now, without your
preening cries,
My sleep, an alarm, must
stall

I've fallen into the habit of waking up with the sounds of wildlife outside my window, but this week, all of a sudden, they were gone. No tapering off, no gradual loss. One morning they were there, the next I woke up late. Now I have to go back to using an alarm to get up on time and I'm not too fond of that idea.
So what about you? Have you ever relied on anything other than a standard alarm to wake you up? Has it ever failed? Are you like my brother who can simply tell himself what time he wants to wake up and he does, no alarm needed?
