Hither, yon, in ceaseless quest,

'Till they build a cozy nest;

Full of watchful care is he,

When there comes maternity;

Never lover's song so true—

"Coo-goo-roo-o-o, Coo-goo-roo-o-o."

Now so proud he tabers low,

To his loving mate below;

Never lover so in love,

As this billing, cooing dove.
