Language: English
O bird, that used to press, Thy head against my cheek With touch that seem'd to speak, And ask a tender 'yes' - Ay de mi, my bird: Ay de mi, my bird, my bird - Ay de mi, my bird. O tender downy breast, And warmly beating heart, That beating seem'd a part Of me who gave it rest - Ay de mi, my bird: Ay de mi, my bird, my bird - Ay de mi, my bird.
