Subject(s): Birds
IN the Cotswolds is a nest
With a name so dear
That there's sorrow in my breast
If I linger here:
It is Birdlip, Birdlip,
Cherry, apple, sloe!
And it's Ah to be at Birdlip
For the healing of my woe!
In the Cotswolds is a nest
Of a peace so deep
That it seems a truer rest
Than the soul of sleep.
It is Birdlip, Birdlip,
Nightingales and dew!
And it's Ah to be at Birdlip,
Happy nightingales, with you!
In the Cotswolds is a nest
With a maid so sweet,
That there's sorrow in my breast
Till our bosoms meet.
She's at Birdlip, Birdlip,
Fragrance and delight!
And it's Ah to be at Birdlip
In your arms, my Love, to-night!
