Once there was a bird, so beautiful and bright.

they say her name was Lily

She sang songs till the morning light.

The songs she sang were slow and sad that even the flees cried.

For why there were so sad no one knew, but I do,

She longed for someone to love at night,

She was lonely and she had no friends. Not even a fly came to her

She thought no one cared for her songs, so one day she stopped

And without her songs no one could sleep at night.

In the morning all the birds tried to sing but their voices were weak.

For they have not sung for more than a week

The next morning they all got together and went to Lily's nest,

But she didn't even open her eyes. So they left.

Until the next day when they brought her food and water

And they told her to come eat,

But she flew away, the next day one bird came and sang to her,

then She opened her eyes and sang back, but this time it was not sad,

It was happy.
