What bird so sings, yet so does wail? <br />Oh, 'tis the ravished nightingale. <br />Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu, she cries, <br />And still her woes at midnight rise. <br />Brave prick-song! Who is't now we hear? <br />None but the lark so shrill and clear; <br />How at heaven's gates she claps her wings, <br />The morn not waking till she sings. <br />Hark, hark, with what a pretty throat <br />Poor robin redbreast tunes his note; <br />Hark how the jolly cuckoos sing <br />Cuckoo, to welcome in the spring, <br />Cuckoo, to welcome in the spring.<br /><br />John Lyly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-bird-so-sings-yet-so-does-wail/
