Dear baby orioles, learn to sing this;
’Tis the sweet song of the Eden of bliss!
[LULLABY OF THE ORIOLE]
Your nest is all built, and your birdies are there,
Hidden away from the draughts of the air;
O pretty songster of garden and glen,
Whistle again, birdie, whistle again!
“Yapou-yapou! ha-ha! he-he!”
