Kuku ble kuku, kuku ble kuku
It is morning, and fresh birds' songs
Twitting around that cold early morn
The birds twit and sing, singing and twitting
...
Come, come into the light
See, see the doves
Some white doves on sunshine padding
Their shadows sparkle on
...
The flowerily card arrived
With lipstick mark, stains
Telegraphing your roly-poly
Arousing thought, shared thoughts
...
