¶Lyrics / Text

Hark to the song of the thrush, At the fall of dusk and dew, Piercing the twilight hush, Thrilling it through and through; While the first stars twinkle, twinkle, And the little leaves crinkle, crinkle, Low as a rill, Clear as a bell, Down from the hill, Up from the dell, And all for me and you. List to the song of the thrush! From the shadow cool and deep; Out from the underbrush, Dim where the pixies creep! While the winds grow crisper, crisper, And the little leaves whisper, whisper, Fine as a flute Blown at the morn, Soft as a lute, Clear as a horn; A call to dreams and sleep.
