Şarkı sözleri

My cot was down by a cypress grove,
And I sat by my window the whole night long
And heard well up from the deep dark wood
A mockingbird's passionate song
And I thought of myself so sad and lone
And my life's cold winter that knew no spring
Of my mind so weary and sick and wild
Of my heart too sad to sing
But even as I listened the mockingbirds song
A thought stole in to my saddened heart
And I said, 'I can cheer some other soul
By a carol's simple art.'
For oft from the darkness of hearts and lives
Come songs the brim with joy and light
As out of the gloom of the cypress grove
The mockingbird sings and night
So I sand a lay for a brother's ear
In a strain to soothe his bleeding heart
And he smiled at the sound of my voice and lyre
Though mine was a feeble art
But at his smile I smiled in turn
And into my soul there came a ray
In trying to soothe an other's woes
Mine own had passed away
Written by: Marques L. A. Garrett, Paul Laurence Dunbar
