The Magpie
Donovan
The magpie is a most illustrious bird
dwells in a diamond tree
one brings sorrow and one brings joy
sorrow and joy for me
the magpie is a most royal bird
black and blue as night
i would that i had feathers three
black and blue and white
i saw the gentle magpie birds
in dusky yester-eve
one brought sorrow and one brought joy
and sooner than soon did leave
