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.
