Blithely rises from the beam where he rested;

Fleet-winged he fareth and flieth on high;

Singing and caroling he soareth to heaven.

125 Fair is the famous fowl in his bearing

With joy in his breast, in bliss exulting;

He warbles his song more wondrously sweet

And choicer of note than ever child of man

Heard beneath the heavens since the High King,

130 The worker of wonders, the world established,

Heaven and earth. His hymn is more beautiful
