Do you ask what the birds say? The Sparrow, the Dove,The Linnet and Thrush say, I love and I love!In the winter theyre silent—the wind is so strong;What it says, I dont know, but it sings a loud green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather,And singing and loving all come back together. I love, and I love, almost all the birds say,From sunrise to star-rise, so gladsome are they!But the Lark is so brimful of gladness and love,The green fields below him, the blue sky above,That he sings, and he sings; and forever sings he—*I love my Love, and my Love loves me!
