Quote context

[...]

- And in plaintive tones said she...

- Goodbye, little yellow bird, I'd rather brave the cold on a leafless tree than a prisoner be in a cage of gold.

- I'd gladly introduce you, sir, but she's proud. She won't meet anybody.

- Come, my delightful dove. Descend and make a pilgrimage with me among these mortals.

- The spoiled and petted yellow bird could scarce believe it true that a common sparrow should refuse a bird with blood so blue.

- He told her the advantages of riches and of gold. She answered that her liberty for gold could not be sold.

- She said, I must be going, but he cried, No, no, it's snowing and the wintry winds so blow.

- Stay with me, my little dearie, for without you, it would be dreary, but she only sighed, Ah, no.

- Goodbye, little yellow bird, I'd gladly mate with you. I love you, little yellow bird, but I love my freedom too.

- So goodbye, little yellow bird, I'd rather brave the cold on a leafless tree than a prisoner be in a cage of gold.

- She's taken with you, sir. Say the word and I'll take you backstage.

- Thank you, no.
