'BEWARE yon bird now in glee on the bough	A
May drop into a snare '	B
So sung we when a day of the past had passed	C
away	D
But not when Alf was near	E
	-
Not Cilla not I nor Bessy need sigh	F
That ever he came this way	D
But a worthier far than Cilia and her	G
Heath rued that evil day	D
	-
That hour the dire ban of Rosa began	H
When Alf glode over the hill	I
And hailed us each with a blink did reach	J
And make our heart strings thrill	I
	-
At the brook we'd stoop'd and the water scoop'd	K
Our clean green pails into	L
When a coal black rook beclouded the brook	M
And away o'er the hill top flew	L
	-
We startled raised our heads and gazed	N
And ere the bird had swept	O
From sight heart light with his blink so bright	P
The youth the waters leapt	O
	-
I felt his spell and Bessy as well	Q
As in her heart she knows	R
But Rose did she look at her face in the brook	M
Or why in the brook look's Rose	R
	-
The fact was bared when the bird ensnared	S
Was the village talk indeed	T
But he the youth had the look of truth	U
And who the heart can read	V
	-
No Cilla no not even so	W
Not Bessy more than Cill	Q
Tho' she tost her head in pride and said	V
What Rose remembers still	Q
	-
'I think of the glance that made your hearts dance	X
But ever I think also	W
Of the grim black rook that darkened the brook	M
And away o'er the hill did go '	-
	-
'Nay Bessy nay and forbear I pray	D
By any cold remark	Y
To deepen the shade that hangs o'er her head	V
If Rosa's weird be dark	Y
	-
' 'The wilyest bird on hedge ever heard'	V
Ah well you know the rest	V
The stranger youth had the look of truth	U
And looks deceive the best	V
	-
'If love mad driven poor Rose hath given	Z
What to give is woe to her	G
Another more wild had been beguiled	V
By lures less dazzling far '	-
	-
At my sharp reply did a fierce red dye	F
Bemantle Bessy's cheek	A2
While Rose turned as pale as the moon o'er the dale	Q
But never a word did speak	A2
	-
With a downcast look her needles she took	M
Till off our neighbour went	V
When my hand she took and gave me a look	M
Which worlds of meaning meant	V
	-
Her tears out gushed in my arms she rushed	V
And kissed her Cilla and said	V
What never shall pass these lips till the grass	B2
Is green above my head	V
	-
But oft since then and ever when	C2
I think of Rose and her ban	H
Will the sad sad strain awake in my brain	D2
By which this ditty began	H
	-
'Beware yon bird now in glee on the bough	A
May drop into a snare '	-
Alas even so will the old thing go	W
But when will the best beware	E2
