    When the swallows homeward fly,
    When the roses scattered lie,
    When from neither hill or dale,
    Chants the silvery nightingale:
    In these works my bleeding heart
    Would to thee its brief impart;
    When I thus thy image lose
    Can I, ah! can I, e'er know repose?

Thou little bird, thou dweller by the sea,
Why takest thou its melancholy voice,
And with that read more

Thou little bird, thou dweller by the sea,
Why takest thou its melancholy voice,
And with that boding cry
Along the waves dost thou fly?
Oh! rather, bird, with me
Through this fair land rejoice!

in thy bedchamber; for a read more

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich
in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the voice,
and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
