Blythe is the bird who wings the plain,  
Blythe is the bird who wings the plain,
Nor sows, nor reaps, a single grain;  
Nor sows, nor reaps, a single grain;
Whose only labour is to sing,  
Whose only labour is to sing,
Through Autumn, Summer, Winter, Spring.  
Through Autumn, Summer, Winter, Spring.
At night his little meal he finds,  
At night his little meal he finds,
Nor heeds what fare may next betide;  
Nor heeds what fare may next betide;
The change of seasons nought he minds,  
The change of seasons nought he minds,
But for his wants lets Heaven provide.
But for his wants lets Heaven provide.
Oft on the branch he perches gay,  
Oft on the branch he perches gay,
Oft on his painted wings looks he:
Oft on his painted wings looks he:
And penniless renews his lay,  
And penniless renews his lay,
Rejoicing in unbounded glee.
Rejoicing in unbounded glee.

Blythe is the bird who wings the plain,
Nor sows, nor reaps, a single grain;
Whose only labour is to sing,
Through Autumn, Summer, Winter, Spring.
At night his little meal he finds,
Nor heeds what fare may next betide;
The change of seasons nought he minds,
But for his wants lets Heaven provide.
Oft on the branch he perches gay,
Oft on his painted wings looks he:
And penniless renews his lay,
Rejoicing in unbounded glee.
