How sweet and pleasant grows the way	A
Through summer time again	B
While Landrails call from day to day	A
Amid the grass and grain	C
	-
We hear it in the weeding time	D
When knee deep waves the corn	E
We hear it in the summers prime	D
Through meadows night and morn	E
	-
And now I hear it in the grass	F
That grows as sweet again	B
And let a minutes notice pass	F
And now tis in the grain	C
	-
Tis like a fancy everywhere	G
A sort of living doubt	H
We know tis something but it neer	I
Will blab the secret out	H
	-
If heard in close or meadow plots	J
It flies if we pursue	K
But follows if we notice not	L
The close and meadow through	K
	-
Boys know the note of many a bird	M
In their birdnesting bounds	N
But when the landrails noise is heard	M
They wonder at the sounds	N
	-
They look in every tuft of grass	F
Thats in their rambles met	O
They peep in every bush they pass	F
And none the wiser get	O
	-
And still they hear the craiking sound	P
And still they wonder why	Q
It surely cant be under ground	P
Nor is it in the sky	Q
	-
And yet tis heard in every vale	R
An undiscovered song	S
And makes a pleasant wonder tale	R
For all the summer long	S
	-
The shepherd whistles through his hands	T
And starts with many a whoop	U
His busy dog across the lands	T
In hopes to fright it up	V
	-
Tis still a minutes length or more	W
Till dogs are off and gone	X
Then sings and louder than before	W
But keeps the secret on	Y
	-
Yet accident will often meet	Z
The nest within its way	A
And weeders when they weed the wheat	Z
Discover where they lay	A
	-
And mowers on the meadow lea	A2
Chance on their noisy guest	B2
And wonder what the bird can be	A2
That lays without a nest	B2
	-
In simple holes that birds will rake	C2
When dusting on the ground	P
They drop their eggs of curious make	C2
Deep blotched and nearly round	P
	-
A mystery still to men and boys	D2
Who know not where they lay	A
And guess it but a summer noise	D2
Among the meadow hay	A
