First Line: Dear, dear, dear / is the rocky glen
Last Line: Quiu, qui, qui.
Subject(s): Birds; Thrushes
Dear, dear, dear,
Is the rocky glen.
Far away, far away, far away
The haunts of men.
Here shall we dwell in love
With the lark and the dove,
Cuckoo and cornrail;
Feast on the banded snail,
Worm and gilded fly;
Drink of the crystal rill
Winding adown the hill,
Never to dry.
With glee, with glee, with glee,
Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, here
Nothing to harm us, then sing merrily,
Sing to the loved ones whose nest is near --
Qui, qui, kweeu quip,
Tiurru, tiurru, chipiwi,
Too-tee, too-tee, chiu choo,
Chirri, chirri, chooee,
Quiu, qui, qui.
