Now see II you can tell. my dear,
What bird 1t is that every year,
Sings ''Sweet-sweet-sweet

He comes in March, when winds are st-,ng
And snow returns to hide the earth:

And waits for May He fingers long
While flowers fade; and every day
Repeats his small, contented lay;

And yet OF all the well-dressed throng
Not one can sing so brave song.
It makes the pride of looks appear
vain and foolish thing to hear
His "Sweet--sweet

A lofty place he does not love,
But sits by choice, and well at ease,
In hedges, and in little trees
That stretch their slender arms above
The meadow brook and there he sings
TIL all the field with pleasure rings;
And so he tells In every ear,
The lowliest home to heaven Is near
In Sweet sweet-sweet-

I like the tune, 1 like the words:
They seem SO true. so free from art,
So friendly, and so full Of heart,
That II but one Of all the birds
Could be my comrade everywhere,
