Bird on a briar, bird on a briar, mankind has come of love, love to crave. Blissful bird, on me have pity, or build, love, build me my grave. I am so blithe, so blithe, bird on a briar, When I see that maid in the hall. She is white of limb, lovely, :true, She is fair and the flower of all. Might her I have at my will, steadfast of love, lovely, and true, Of my sorrow she might me save, Joy and bliss were ever new to me.
