The Bobolink is gone

Language: English

Our translations: FRE

The Bobolink is gone --
The Rowdy of the Meadow --
And no one swaggers now but me --
The Presbyterian Birds
Can now resume the Meeting
He boldly interrupted that overflowing Day
When supplicating mercy
In a portentous way
He swung upon the Decalogue
And shouted let us pray --

Le goglu

Language: French (Français) after the English

Le Goglu est parti --
Le Chahuteur de la Prairie --
Et maintenant personne ne se pavane à part moi --
Les Oiseaux Presbytériens
Peuvent maintenant continuer la Réunion
Qu'il interrompait hardiment ce Jour débordant
Quand suppliant la miséricorde
D'une manière prodigieuse
Il se balançait sur le Décalogue
Et criait Prions --
