Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

A orphan girl named Maria
Was to market one day
She stopped for to by the roadside
a bird with a broken wing lay

A few moments till she saw it
For its feathers were with sand
And soon cleaned and wrapped it was
In the warmth of small hand

She gave her last peso
On a cage of rushes and twine
She fed it corn from the market
And watched it grow stronger time

Now the service was coming
And the shone with tinsel and light
And all of the town folk brought
To lay by the manger night

There where diamonds, incense and
And fit for a king
But for one ragged bird in a cage
Maria had to bring

She waited till before midnight
So no one see her go in
And she knelt by the manger
For her was unworthy of him

a voice spoke to her through the darkness
Maria, what you to me?
If the bird in the cage is offering
the door, let me see

So she trembled, she did as he her
And out of the the bird flew
Soaring up the rafters
On a that had healed good as new

Just then the midnight bells out
And the little started to sing
A that no words could recapture
For its was fit for a king

Now Maria felt blessed to listen
To that cascade of sweet and long
As her was lifted to heaven
By the very first nightingales
