<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Do you ask what the birds say? The Sparrow, the Dove,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">The Linnet and Thrush say, 'I love and I love!'<br/></span>
<span class="i0">In the winter they're silent—the wind is so strong;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">What it says, I don't know, but it sings a loud song.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">But green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather, <br/></span>
<span class="i0">And singing, and loving—all come back together.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">But the Lark is so brimful of gladness and love,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">The green fields below him, the blue sky above,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">That he sings, and he sings; and for ever sings he—<br/></span>
<span class="i0">'I love my Love, and my Love loves me!' <br/></span></div>
