In the swamp in secluded recesses, A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song. Solitary the thrush, The hermit withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements, Sings by himself a song. Song of the bleeding throat! Death's outlet song of life -- (for well, dear brother, I know If thou wast not [gifted]1 to sing, thou would'st surely die.)
