Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFCC| The firetail tells the boys when nests are nigh | A |
| And tweets and flies from every passer bye | A |
| The yellowhammer never makes a noise | B |
| But flies in silence from the noisy boys | B |
| The boys will come and take them every day | C |
| And still she lays as none were ta'en away | C |

| The nightingale keeps tweeting churring round | D |
| But leaves in silence when the nest is found | D |
| The pewit hollos 'chewrit' as she flies | E |
| And flops about the shepherd where he lies | E |
| But when her nest is found she stops her song | F |
| And cocks her coppled crown and runs along | F |
| Wrens cock their tails and chitter loud and play | C |
| And robins hollo 'tut' and fly away | C |
