The nightingale so pleasant and so gay
In greenwood groves delights to make his dwelling
In fields to fly chanting his roundelay
At liberty against the cage rebelling
But my poor heart with sorrows overswelling
Through bondage vile, binding my freedom short
No pleasure takes in these his sports excelling
Nor of his song receiveth no comfort
The nightingale was written by William Byrd.
