You are a charming bird, my friend,

Chirruping in the morning glow,

Narrating tales till day would end.

Yet who you are I do not know.

I wish I could your feathers touch;

Your tuneful songs enchant my ear.

And don't let me come too near.

I'll place my steps with perfect skill,

My restless mind would lead me on...

Alas, my efforts come to nil.

Incautious word - and you are gone...
