When daisies pied |
When daisies pied and violets blue |
And lady-smocks all silver white |
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue |
Do paint the meadows with delight |
The cuckoo, then on ev’ry tree |
Mocks married men, for thus sings he |
Cuckoo |
Cuckoo, cuckoo: o word of fear |
Unpleasing to a married ear |
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws |
And merry larks are ploughmen’s clocks |
And turtles tread, and rooks, and daws |
And maidens bleach their summer frocks |
The cuckoo, then on ev’ry tree |
Mocks married men, for thus sings he |
Cuckoo |
Cuckoo, cuckoo: o word of fear |
Unpleasing to a married ear |
