Why should the cuckoo's tuneful note
Offend the married ear?
The sound that cometh from her throat
Is musical and clear.
The nightingale cries yook! yook! yook!
And terru, terru, too!
But these are sounds not half so soft
As chanteth the cuckoo!
O list! her voice I hear, Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
O never, never fear!
No horn accompaniment is near.
