When day appears his joyful singingAwakes the dawns enchanted rest;When evening falls his notes are ringing,While fiery day fades from the west.A-down the grove the silence doubles.As now his plaintive dulcet lay,That breathes of loves ecstatic troubles,From out the tulip tree dies away.How sweet is he, the Mysoli!
