¶Lyrics / Text

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.
