4. Cuckoo in the Pear-Tree
by William Brighty Rands (1823-1882)

The Cuckoo sat in the old pear-tree,
Cuckoo!
Raining or snowing, nought cared he.
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, nought cared he.

The Cuckoo flew over a housetop high.
Cuckoo!
`Dear, are you at home, for here am I?
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, here am I.`

`I dare not open the door to you.
Cuckoo!
Perhaps you are not the right cuckoo?
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cukoo, the right Cuckoo!`

`I am the right Cuckoo, the proper one.
Cuckoo!
For I am my father`s only son,
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, his only son.`

`If you are your father`s only son -
Cuckoo!
The bobbin pull tightly,
Come through the door lightly -
Cuckoo!

`If you are your father`s only son -
Cuckoo!
It must be you, the only one -
Cuckoo, cuckoo, my own Cuckoo!
Cuckoo!`
