"Come, come, little bird, come to me;
I have a cage all ready for thee.
Pretty bright flowers I'll bring to you,
Red ripe cherries all wet with dew."

"No, no, little boy, I can't come there,
Rather fly around in the fresh cool air.
Snug little nest in an old oak tree
Is better than a golden cage for me."
