I walked in the wood one summer day
And heard a wild-bird singing,
His tender notes through the forest glades
Exuitantly were ringing.

Happy beyond all measure,
I, will seek the bird and take him home,
He will always give me pleasure.
But alas! / found a cruel thorn
In the breast of the bird was driven,
