The Bird her punctual music brings

Language: English

Our translations: FRE

The Bird her punctual music brings
And lays it in its place --
Its place is in the Human Heart
And in the Heavenly Grace --
What respite from her thrilling toil
Did Beauty ever take --
But Work might be electric Rest
To those that Magic make --

L'Oiseau apporte sa musique ponctuelle

Language: French (Français) after the English

L'Oiseau apporte sa musique ponctuelle
Et la met à sa place -
Sa place est dans le Cœur Humain
Et dans la Grâce du Ciel -
Quel répit dans son labeur palpitant
La beauté a-t-elle jamais pris -
Mais le travail pourrait être un Repos Électrique
pour ceux qui font la Magie -
