LESSON 33 THE SONG OF THE MAGPIE

THE SONG OF THE MAGPIE

dawn-ing sing-le branch-es voice

pierc-ing pos-sum peer-ing ease

qui-et soar hol-low

1. Such a merry bird am I,

　　Singing all day long;

　In the gum-tree's branches high

　　You may hear my song.

2. When the rosy dawning light

　　Tells the day's begun,

　Loud I sing with all my might,

　　To the rising sun.

3. Quickly to the hollow tree,

　　Home the 'possum hies,

　Peering through the leaves at me,

　　With his piercing eyes.

4. Then with many a loud "ha! ha!"

　　The laughing Jackass wakes,

　Rings his merry voice afar,

　　Such a noise he makes.

5. Down upon the ground I fly,

　　Seeking food to eat;

　Happy, careless, gay am I,

　　Life to me is sweet.

6. All day long, I sing and fly

　　In the tall gum-trees;

　Not a single care have I,

　　Living at my ease.

7. When the merry day is o'er,

　　Sinks the sun to rest;

　Gladly homewards, then I soar

　　To my quiet nest.
