- The bee, the bat, the butterfly,
The cuckoo, and the swallow,
The corncrake put out his beak
And bid them all good morrow.
- Good morning Tom your hens are gone.
Your cock shall crow no more.
You went to bed you sleep head,
And forgot to lock the door. - Collector

- The cuckoo comes in April
She sings her song in May,
She hums her tune in the end of June
And in July she flys away.
