Beyond the orchard in the laneA
The crested red bird sings againB
O bird whose song says Have no careC
Should I not care when CONSTANCE thereC
My CONSTANCE with the bashful gazeD
Pink gowned like some sweet hollyhockE
If I declare my love just saysF
Some careless thing as if in mockE
Like Past the orchard in the laneA
How sweet the red bird sings againB
-
There while the red bird sings his bestG
His listening mate sits on the nestG
O bird whose patience says All's wellH
How can it be with me now tellH
When CONSTANCE with averted eyesI
Soft bonneted as some sweet peaJ
If I speak marriage just repliesI
With some such quaint irrelevancyJ
As While the red bird sings his bestG
His loving mate sits on the nestG
-
What shall I say what can I doK
Would such replies mean aught to youK
O birds whose gladness says Be gladL
Have I not reason to be sadL
When CONSTANCE with demurest glanceM
Her face a poppy with distressN
If I reproach her pouts perchanceM
And answers so in waywardnessM
What shall I say what can I doK
My meaning should be plain to youK
