The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
To every ear, the tale it'll draw,
How could it hold its tongue in awe?
The bird of dawn, it watched.

Drizzle falls, the pitchers weep,
Drizzle falls, the pitchers weep,
In this, no stream its secrets keep,
In this, no stream its secrets keep,
My heart is fraught, and cannot sleep,
Now nothing stays, no solace deep,
The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
To every ear, the tale it'll draw,
How could it hold its tongue in awe?
The bird of dawn, it watched.

Whispering winds begin to blow,
Whispering winds begin to blow,
Flowers laugh, the buds will grow,
Flowers laugh, the buds will grow,
They bid us dance, they bid us know,
Together sing, and let it flow,
The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
To every ear, the tale it'll draw,
How could it hold its tongue in awe?
The bird of dawn, it watched.

Drizzle falls the stars descend,
Drizzle falls the stars descend,
Since you, my love, have been my friend,
We overflow, no end,
Smiling wide, until the end,
The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
The bird of dawn, it watched, it saw,
To every ear, the tale it'll draw,
How could it hold its tongue in awe?
The bird of dawn, it watched.
