-"What cheer ! 



What cheer \ 



That is the Cardinal Grosbeak's way, 

 With his sooty face and his coat so red. 

 Cheer! cheer! 



What cheer! 



Oh, all the world shall be glad to hear ! 

 And the nightingale 

 Shall fail 



When I burst forth with my freedorn-song 

 So rich and strong !" 



Thompson.
