The Birds

The birds, the birds of mine own land
 I heard in Brittany;
And as they sung, they seemed to me
The very same I heard with thee.
And if it were indeed a dream,
Such thoughts they taught my soul to frame
That straight a plaintive number came,
 Which still shall be my song, Till that reward is mine which love hath promised long.
