Pretty mocking bird
Language: English 
Living echo, living echo birds of eve, 
Hush, hush thy wailing, cease, cease to grieve, 
Pretty warbler, wake the grove, 
To notes of joy, to songs of love: 
Pretty mocking bird, thy form I see,
Swinging with the breeze on the mangrove tree.
Pretty mocking bird, thy form I see.
