Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCD ECEAAFCD GCGAAHC ICAJJKCD CCCEEL HCHMMNCAs beats the sun from mountain crest | A |
With 'pretty pretty' | A |
Cometh the partridge from her nest | A |
The flowers threw kisses sweet to her | B |
For all the flowers that bloomed knew her | B |
Yet hasteneth she to mine and me | C |
Ah pretty pretty | C |
Ah dear little partridge | D |
- | |
And when I hear the partridge cry | E |
So pretty pretty | C |
Upon the house top breakfast I | E |
She comes a chirping far and wide | A |
And swinging from the mountain side | A |
I see and hear the dainty dear | F |
Ah pretty pretty | C |
Ah dear little partridge | D |
- | |
Thy nest's inlaid with posies rare | G |
And pretty pretty | C |
Bloom violet rose and lily there | G |
The place is full of balmy dew | A |
The tears of flowers in love with you | A |
And one and all impassioned call | H |
'O pretty pretty | C |
O dear little partridge ' | - |
- | |
Thy feathers they are soft and sleek | I |
So pretty pretty | C |
Long is thy neck and small thy breast | A |
The color of thy plumage far | J |
More bright than rainbow colors are | J |
Sweeter than dove is she I love | K |
My pretty pretty | C |
My dear little partridge | D |
- | |
When comes the partridge from the tree | C |
So pretty pretty | C |
And sings her little hymn to me | C |
Why all the world is cheered thereby | E |
The heart leaps up into the eye | E |
And echo then gives back again | L |
Our 'Pretty pretty ' | - |
Our 'Dear little partridge ' | - |
- | |
Admitting the most blest of all | H |
And pretty pretty | C |
The birds come with thee at thy call | H |
In flocks they come and round they play | M |
And this is what they seem to say | M |
They say and sing each feathered thing | N |
'Ah pretty pretty | C |
Ah dear little partridge ' | - |
