Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIJKJ LMNMNOLO PQPQPGRG| The swallows made twitter incessant | A |
| The thrushes were wild with their mirth | B |
| The ways and the woods were made pleasant | A |
| And the flowering nooks of the earth | B |
| And the sunshine sufficed to rejoice me | C |
| And the air was as bracing as wine | D |
| And the sky and the shadows and grasses | E |
| Were enough to make living divine | D |
| - | |
| 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 |
| They were singing of love in the shadow | I |
| She was bashful and modest and coy | J |
| And he sang to her tenderest love songs | K |
| And madrigals full of his joy | J |
| - | |
| 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 |
| His whole little bird soul he offers | N |
| Ah she listens to him as he sings | O |
| Then he ceases awaiting her answer | L |
| With bright eyes and with quivering wings | O |
| - | |
| And I too stood awaiting it breathless | P |
| 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 |
