THE CUCKOO'S VOICE by JOHN HEYWOOD

First Line: IN APRIL THE KOO-COO CAN SING HER NOTE BY ROTE
Last Line: AT LAST, KOOKE, KOOKE, KOOKE, SIX COOKES TO ONE KOO.
Subject(s): BIRDS; CUCKOOS;
IN April the koo-coo can sing her note by rote,
In June of tune she cannot sing a note;
At first koo-koo, koo-coo, sing shrill can she do;
At last, kooke, kooke, kooke, six cookes to one koo.
