[The chaffinch on the hedge row sings]
The chaffinch on the hedge row sings
The mattin bell from steeple rings
The rising sun its welcome brings
To dew bent flower & bee
Around thy chimney swallows sing
Beneath thy Eaves the sparrows cling
My love my dear
Awake & hear
Thy Love waits for thee
The mattin bell from steeple rings
The rising sun its welcome brings
To dew bent flower & bee
Around thy chimney swallows sing
Beneath thy Eaves the sparrows cling
My love my dear
Awake & hear
Thy Love waits for thee
The linnet green as white thorn leaves
Of whool & moss a warm nest weaves
Where beds o' moss the dew recieves
& still appears as dry
The Robin from his root pops out
The brown hedge sparrow cheeps about
Wi' sky blue eggs in moss redoubt
On woodbriar arching high
My life my dear
Awake appear
Thy Lover waiteth nigh
Of whool & moss a warm nest weaves
Where beds o' moss the dew recieves
& still appears as dry
265
The brown hedge sparrow cheeps about
Wi' sky blue eggs in moss redoubt
On woodbriar arching high
My life my dear
Awake appear
Thy Lover waiteth nigh
