To the Cuc-oo

O blithe ne-~co-er! I have heard,
I hear thee and -e-oi-e:

O Cuc-oo! Shall I call thee Bird,

Or but a -anderin- voice?

-hile I a- l-in- on the -rass,

I hear th- restless shout:

-ro- hill to hill it see-s to -ass,

About, and all about!

To -e, no Babbler -ith a tale

O- sunshine and o- -lo-ers,

Thou tellest, Cuc-oo! In the vale

O- visionar- hours.

Thrice -elco-e, Darlin- o- the S-rin-!

Even -et thou art to -e

No Bird; but an invisible Thin-,

A voice, a --ster-.

The sa-e in -ho- -- School~bo- da-s

I listened to; that cr-

-hich -ade -e loo- a thousand -a-s;

In bush, and tree, and s--.

To see- thee did I o-ten rove

Throu-h -oods and on the -reen;

And thou -ert still a ho-e, a love;

Still lon-ed -or, never seen!

And I can listen to thee -et;

Can lie u-on the -lain

And listen, till I do be-et

That -olden ti-e a-ain.

O blessed Bird! The earth -e -ace

A-ain a--ears to -e

An unsubstantial, -aer- -lace;

That is -it ho-e -or thee!
