Day by day the nightingale

Grew more sorrowful and pale.

Night on night her tired song

Zipped and trilled and bounced along,

Till the birds and beasts grew tired

At a voice so uninspired

And the ticket office gross

Crashed, and she grew more morose -

For her ears were now addicted

To applause quite unrestricted,

And to sing into the night

All alone gave no delight.

The nightingale was sorrowful and pale because

1. she had been practicing in the rain

2. she had been performing all night

3. she was losing confidence in herself

4. she was falling ill
