    The woosel cock so black of hue,
    With orange-tawny bill,
    The throstle with his note so true,
    The wren with little quill--
    . . . .
    The finch, the sparrow, and the lark,
    The plain-song cuckoo grey,
    Whose note full many a man doth mark,
    And dares not answer nay.

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!
