I heard a bird at dawn

I heard a bird at dawn
Singing sweetly on a tree,

That the dew was on the lawn,
And the wind was on the lea;

But I didn't listen to him,
For he didn't sing to me.

I didn't listen to him,
For he didn't sing to me That the dew was on the lawn
And the wind was on the lea;

I was singing at the time
Just as prettily as he.

I was singing all the time,
Just a prettily as he,

About the dew upon the lawn
And the wind upon the lea;

So I didn't listen to him
As he sang upon a tree.
