Magpie's Farewell

Her lament: That fickle magpie tells sweet lies, What proof is there behind its cries? I'll catch the rogue as it flies near, And lock it in a golden cage, right here. The magpie's reply: I only came to bring you cheer, But now you've locked me in here. If you wish your soldier to return soon, Then free me to the clouds and moon!
