The document appears to be lyrics from the song "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" from the musical "Sweeney Todd". The lyrics describe a bird seller responding to questions about how and why the birds he sells sing, asking if they are simply singing, discussing, crowing, or dreaming. The lyrics also reference larks never singing when they are captive.
