Pity, mourn in plaintive tone
The lovely starling dead and gone!
Pity mourns in plaintive tone
The lovely starling dead and gone.
Weep, ye Loves! and Venus! weep
The lovely starling fallen asleep!
Venus sees with tearful eyes --
In her lap the starling lies!
While the Loves all in a ring
Softly stroke the stiffened wing.
