She pecks the earth for every second,
Young Jenny Wren, while on the run:
'Come, Love, and watch this little darling;
Come, see this pretty little one.'

'Why waste such precious words on birds?'
Said jealous Love, not liking this.
'They are but words, my Love,' said I —
'To make birds jealous when we kiss!'
