Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

A poor orphan girl named
Was walking to one day
She stopped for to rest by the
Where a bird with a wing lay

A few moments passed she saw it
For its feathers covered 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 stronger with time

Now the service was coming
And the church shone with tinsel and
And all of the town folk presents
To lay by the manger that

where diamonds, incense and perfume
And packages fit for a
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 crying she knelt by the
For her was unworthy of him

Then a voice to her through the darkness
Maria, brings 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 cage the flew
up into the rafters
On a wing that had good as new

Just then the bells rang out
And the little bird to sing
A song that no could recapture
For its beauty was fit for a

Now Maria blessed just to listen
To that cascade of notes and long
As her offering was to heaven
By the very first song
