| Then I saw on the ground two gray robins | F |
| One with glorious flame colored vest | G |
| 'Neath the shade of some delicate bluebells | H |
| By the breeze of the morning caressed | G |

| And his song came forth clearer and clearer | L |
| With each passionate musical note | M |
| Like the ripple of silvery waters | N |
| It gushed from his beautiful throat | M |

| Ah she listens to him as he sings | O |
| Then he ceases awaiting her answer | L |
| With bright eyes and with quivering wings | O |

| For his song was too sweet to disdain | Q |
| Till it came little notes full of gladness | P |
| With a plaintive and tender refrain | Q |
| And the songs died away in the distance | P |
| And the forest alone heard the rest | G |
| As the two little lovers flew upward | R |
| To build them together a nest | G |
