In woods so long time bare. / Cuckoo! / (Up in Mortain woods, I know not where) / Two notes fall. / Yet I do not envy him at all / His phantasy. / Cuckoo! / I too, / Somewhere, / I have sang as merrily as he / Who can dare, / Small and careless lover, so to laugh at care, / And who / Can call / Cuckoo! / In woods of winter weary, / In scented woods, of winter weary, call / Cuckoo! / In woods so long time bare.
