The Rivals Lyrics by Deems Taylor

Three Songs, Op. 13

0

I heard a bird at dawn
Singing sweetly on a tree
That the dew was on the lawn
And the wind was on the lea;
But I didn't listen to him
For he didn't sing to me
I didn't listen to him
For he didn't sing to me
That the dew was on the lawn
And the wind was on the lea;
I was singing at the time
Just as prettily as he
I was singing all the time
Just a prettily as he
About the dew upon the lawn
And the wind upon the lea;
So I didn't listen to him
As he sang upon a tree
