love.

whispered his wife.
He does sing sweet, don't hep"
"Oh dear, oh dear, how can I
give it all up! I've fed that bird
and his mate for years. He knows
my voice. I can call him down
out of that tree. Many a night
when you were away in the war
he sat close to my window and
sang softly to me all night.
When I'd wake, I'd hear him
slngin' low like he was afraid
he'd wake somebody. I'd sit
down there by the window and
cry for you and dream of you
till he'd sing me to sleep in the
chair. And now we've got to
leave him! Oh Lord, my heart is
brokenI can't see the way!"
