OF all the beauteous waresA
Exposed for sale at fairsA
None will give more delightB
Than those that to your sightB
From distant lands we bringC
Oh hark to what we singC
These beauteous birds beholdD
They're brought here to be soldD
-
And first the big one seeE
So full of roguish gleeE
With light and merry boundF
He leaps upon the groundF
Then springs up on the bougdF
We will not praise him nowG
The merry bird beholdF
He's brought here to be soldF
-
And now the small one seeE
A modest look has heE
And yet he's such apotherH
As his big roguish brotherH
'Tis chiefly when all's stillI
He loves to show his willI
The bird so small and boldF
He's brought here to be soldF
-
Observe this little loveJ
This darling turtle doveJ
All maidens are so neatF
So civil so discreetF
Let them their charms set looseK
And turn your love to useK
The gentle bird beholdF
She's brought here to be soldF
-
Their praises we won't tellL
They'll stand inspection wellL
They're fond of what is newM
And yet to show they're trueM
Nor seal nor letter's wantedF
To all have wings been grantedF
The pretty birds beholdF
Such beauties ne'er were soldF

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
