Last Line: Has chanted philomel!
Subject(s): Birds; Singing & Singers; Songs


Upon the Paris side, but towards Nemours the white, in the boughs a bullfinch
sang 'neath morning's silvery light.

Upon the Orleans side, flown towards Nemours, the sweet lark at the heart of day
carolled above the wheat.

Upon the Flanders side in twilight's golden ray, the magpie far from Nemours his
hoard hath hidden away.

Towards Russia and Germany, cawing, this eventide the troop of carrion-crows
quitted the countryside.

But in my garden-close, by Nemours protected well, through all the starry night
has chanted Philomel!
