Do you ask what the birds say?
The sparrow, the dove
The linnet, and thrush say
\u2018I love\u2019 and \u2018I love\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the winter they\u2019re silent
The wind is so strong;
What it says, I don\u2019t know,
But it sings a loud song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But green leaves and blossoms,
And sunny warm weather;
And singing, and living,
All come back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lark is so brimful,
Of gladness and love
The green fields below him,
The blue sky above<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That he sings, and he sings,
And forever sings he:
\u2018I love my love,
And my love loves me.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bird came down the walk – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then he drank a dew<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a convenient grass<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then hopped sidewise to the wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To let a beetle pass –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He glanced with rapid eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That hurried all around –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They looked like frightened beads, I thought –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stirred his velvet head<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like one in danger, cautious<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I offered him a crumb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And he unrolled his feathers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And rowed him softer home <\/p>\n\n\n\n
