The Rivals
Theard 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 as prettily as he,
About the dew upon the lawn
And the wind upon the lea!
So I didn't listen to him
As hes
sang upon a tree!

Explanation:

The Rivals

by James Stephens

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 as 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!
