-
Fussy bird, you do not know
-
Who drink delight from bud and blossom:
-
Ravish spring in all her beauty -
-
Fussy bird, you do not know
-
-
New clapnets have been made for you,
-
And timer are the meshes;
-
The snare around the flower shrub
-
Is camouflaged in green.
-
-
Your pretty nest is on the bough -
-
But they'll burn and bring it down !
-
And, fussy bird, you will have .
-
To leave the garden soon !
-
-
We love a shady tree and wish
-
It were to live for ever,
-
But axe the one that gives no shade
Even if it's the proudest pine !
