Then he flew away, and settled on the roof of a shoemaker's house and sang: 'My mother killed her little son; My father grieved when I was gone; My sister loved me best of all; She laid her kerchief over me, And took my bones that they might lie Underneath the juniper-tree Kywitt, Kywitt, what a beautiful bird am I!
Then the juniper-tree began to stir itself, and the branches parted asunder, and moved together again, just as if some one was rejoicing and clapping his hands.
Near the close of the day, after some appropriate words in the church, the venerable clergyman, with his white locks uncovered, led the way through the cemetery to its further side, where, under the shade of an immense juniper-tree, were two open graves.
Eternal, infernal books! The sun was printing over the floor the shadow skeleton of the juniper-tree by the westerly window. That always told me it was one o'clock.
After this a mist came round the tree, and in the midst of it there was a burning as of fire, and out of the fire there flew a beautiful bird, that rose high into the air, singing magnificently, and when it could no more be seen, the juniper-tree stood there as before, and the silk handkerchief and the bones were gone.

And she now felt quite happy and lighthearted; she put on the shoes and danced and jumped about in them. 'I was so miserable, she said, 'when I came out, but that has all passed away; that is indeed a splendid bird, and he has given me a pair of red shoes.
"Oh!" said Margery, "I will go out too, and see if the bird will give me anything." "Gathered up all my bones, Tied them in a silk handkerchief," And the shoes were thrown down. "And laid them under the Juniper-tree: Kywitt! Kywitt! what a beautiful bird am I!" Then Margery was very joyful; she put on the new red shoes, and danced and jumped about.
The bird flew away and alighted on the house of a goldsmith and began to sing: 'My mother killed her little son; My father grieved when I was gone; My sister loved me best of all; She laid her kerchief over me, And took my bones that they might lie Underneath the juniper-tree Kywitt, Kywitt, what a beautiful bird am I!
