Li.,en to the sIockiux bird.

Listen to the Mockiux Bird
I'm dreaming now OF Halle.
For the thought OF her Is one tha
never dies:
She's sleeping in the valley
And the hooking bird is singing wher,
she lies.
Listen TO the mocking bird.
The mocking bird now singing DER her
grave:
Listen to the mocking bird
Still singing where the weeping will
lows wave
When the charms Of spring awaken
And the mocking bird is singing on the
bough,
/ feel like one forsaken.
For my Halle is no longer with me
Listen to the hooking bird. etc
All. well Jet remember
When we gathered in the cotton. sics
by side,
Twas In the mild September.
And the mocking bird was singing FAR
and wide.
Listen to the mocking bird,
The mocking bird now singing DER her
grave:
Listen TO the hooking bird
Still singing where the weeping will
lows wave.
