1. Read the poem carefully and do the activities that follow.

The Rivals

I heard a bird at dawn

Singing sweetly on a tree,

That the dew was on the lawn,

And the wind was on the lea;

But I didn’t listen to him,

For he didn’t sing for me!

I didn’t listen to him,

For he didn’t sing to me

That the dew was on the lawn

And the wind was on the lea!

I was singing at that time,

Just as prettily as he!

I was singing at that time,

As prettily as he,

About the dew upon the lawn,

And the wind upon the lea!

So I didn’t listen to him

As he sang upon the tree!
