(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

For every Bird a Nest --
Wherefore in timid quest
Some little Wren¹ goes seeking round --

Wherefore when boughs² are free --
Households in every tree --
Pilgrim be found?

Perhaps a home too high --
Ah Aristocracy!
The little Wren desires --

Perhaps of twig³ so fine --
Of twine⁴ e'en superfine,
Her pride aspires⁵ --

The Lark⁶ is not ashamed
To build upon the ground
Her modest house --

Yet who of all the throng
Dancing around the sun
Does so rejoice?
