How pleasant the life of a bird must be	A
Flitting about in each leafy tree	A
In the leafy trees so broad and tall	B
Like a green and beautiful palace hall	B
With its airy chambers light and boon	C
That open to sun and stars and moon	C
That open to the bright blue sky	D
And the frolicsome winds as they wander by	D
	-
They have left their nests on the forest bough	E
Those homes of delight they need not now	E
And the young and the old they wander out	F
And traverse their green world round about	F
And hark at the top of this leafy hall	B
How one to the other in love they call	B
Come up Come up they seem to say	G
Where the topmost twigs in the breezes sway	G
	-
Come up come up for the world is fair	H
Where the merry leaves dance in the summer air	H
And the birds below give back the cry	D
We come we come to the branches high	D
How pleasant the lives of the birds must be	A
Living in love in a leafy tree	A
And away through the air what joy to go	I
And to look on the green bright earth below	I
	-
How pleasant the life of a bird must be	A
Skimming about on the breezy sea	A
Cresting the billows like silvery foam	J
Then wheeling away to its cliff built home	J
What joy it must be to sail upborne	E
By a strong free wing through the rosy morn	E
To meet the young sun face to face	K
And pierce like a shaft the boundless space	K
	-
To pass through the bowers of the silver cloud	L
To sing in the thunder hall aloud	L
To spread out the wings for a wild free flight	M
With the upper cloud wings oh what delight	M
Oh what would I give like a bird to go	I
Right on through the arch of the sun lit bow	E
And see how the water drops are kissed	N
Into green and yellow and amethyst	N
	-
How pleasant the life of a bird must be	A
Wherever it listeth there to flee	A
To go when a joyful fancy calls	O
Dashing down 'mong the waterfalls	O
Then wheeling about with its mate at play	G
Above and below and among the spray	G
Hither and thither with screams as wild	P
As the laughing mirth of a rosy child	P
	-
What joy it must be like a living breeze	Q
To flutter about 'mid the flowering trees	Q
	-
Lightly to soar and to see beneath	R
The wastes of the blossoming purple heath	R
And the yellow furze like fields of gold	S
That gladdened some fairy region old	S
On the mountain tops on the billowy sea	A
On the leafy stems of a forest tree	A
How pleasant the life of a bird must be	A
