Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD AEAFAAAA AGAGHHIJ AKAKAALL| Cry from the thicket my heart's bird | A |
| The other birds woke all around | B |
| Rising with toot and howl they stirred | A |
| Their plumage broke the trembling sound | B |
| They craned their necks they fluttered wings | C |
| While we are silent no one sings | C |
| And while we sing you hush your throat | D |
| Or tune your melody to our note | D |

| Cry from the thicket my heart's bird | A |
| The screams and hootings rose again | E |
| They gaped with raucous beaks they whirred | A |
| Their noisy plumage small but plain | F |
| The lonely hidden singer made | A |
| A well of grief within the glade | A |
| Whist silly fool be off they shout | A |
| Or we'll come pluck your feathers out | A |
| - | |
| Cry from the thicket my heart's bird | A |
| Slight and small the lovely cry | G |
| Came trickling down but no one heard | A |
| Parrot and cuckoo crow magpie | G |
| Jarred horrid notes and the jangling jay | H |
| Ripped the fine threads of song away | H |
| For why should peeping chick aspire | I |
| To challenge their loud woodland choir | J |
| - | |
| Cried it so sweet that unseen bird | A |
| Lovelier could no music be | K |
| Clearer than water soft as curd | A |
| Fresh as the blossomed cherry tree | K |
| How sang the others all around | A |
| Piercing and harsh a maddening sound | A |
| With Pretty Poll tuwit tu woo | L |
| Peewit caw caw cuckoo cuckoo | L |
