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.
