When as the mavis sweetly sings,
'''1.''' When as the mavis sweetly sings,
rapture and love,  
rapture and love his notes inspire;
rapture and love his notes inspire
as nestward now his way, he sings,
his way he wings, his blissful song shall never tire.


When as the mavis sweetly sings,
'''2.''' His loveborn carrol he repeats,
rapture and love,  
when to his mate he finds his way;
rapture and love his notes inspire
who list’ning, welcomes him and greets
 
who list’ning greets, his coming long’d for all the day.}}
As nestward now his way he wings,
he wings, his way,
he wings his blissful song,
his blissful song shall never tire.}}
