THE LITTLE DOVES2

Rev. John Henry Hopkins

Score

Listen

1. High on the top of an old pine tree
Broods a mother dove with her young ones three;
Warm over them is her soft downy breast,
And they sing so sweetly in their nest;
“Coo,” say the little ones, “Coo,” says she,
All in their nest in the old pine tree.
2. When in the nest they are left alone,
While their mother, seeking food has gone;
Quiet and tender they all remain,
Till their mother they see come back again;
“Coo,” say the little ones, “Coo,” says she,
All in their nest in the old pine tree.
3. Fast grow the young ones, day and night,
Till their wings are plumed for a longer flight,
Till unto them the day draws nigh,
The time when they all must say good-by;
“Coo,” say the little ones, “Coo,” says she,
And away they fly from the old pine tree.

[2] From CHILDREN’S SONGS AND HOW TO SING THEM, by W. L. Tomlins Copyright, 1884, by Oliver Ditson Company
