| 8. The Blackbird |
| THE nightingale has a lyre of gold, | |
| The lark's is a clarion call, | |
| And the blackbird plays but a boxwood flute, | |
| But I love him best of all. | |
| For his song is all of the joy of life, | 5 |
| And we in the mad, spring weather, | |
| We two have listened till he sang | |
| Our hearts and lips together. |
