The blackbird sings in the hazel‑bush
Language:
English
The blackbird sings in the hazel-[brake]1,
And the squirrel sits on the tree;
And Blanche she walks in the merry greenwood,
Down by the summer sea.
The blackbird lies when he sings of love,
And the squirrel, a thief is he;
And Blanche is an arrant flirt, I swear,
And light as light can be.
O blackbird, die in the hazel-brake!
And squirrel, starve on the tree!
And Blanche -- you may walk in the merry greenwood.
You are nothing more to me.
