LITTLE BIRD! LITTLE BIRD!

1.LITTLE bird! little bird! come to me;
I have a green cage ready for thee;
I'll bring thee flowers, both red and blue,
And fresh, ripe cherries all wet with dew."

But I dearly love the clear, cool air,
And my snug little nest in the old oak tree."

To greener fields and a warmer sky;
When spring returns with pattering rain,
You will hear my merry song again."

Over the hills, and over the sea?

Foolish one, come, and with me stay;
For I'm sure you'll never find

your way."

Over the hills, and over the sea:

I will be as free as the clear bright air,
Chasing the sunlight everywhere!"
