Hawk and Crow

Said the hawk unto the crow one day,
'Oh how can you in mourning stay?'
'I was once in love but I did prove slack
And ever since I wear the black.'
'I was once in love but I did prove slack
And ever since I wear the black.'

The next to speak was Willie wagtail,
'I was once in love but I did prevail,
I was once in love but I did prevail
And ever since I wag my tail.'
I was once in love but I did prevail
And ever since I wag my tail.'

Then up and spoke the little brown thrush,
She was sitting in yon holly bush,
'Oh the way to love I heard them say
Is to court all night and to sleep all day.'

And the last to speak was Jenny wren,
'Do you know what I'd do if I were a man?
In case that one should wriggle and go
I'd wear two strings all upon my bow.'
