Bind Of ihe long and slender bill!

Bird Of the long and slender bill!
Thy home is in the fen
Which rustIing reeds ADD eatiails I'LL
Nine parts Of, oul of Tea.
A hassock constitutes thy throne,
Thy home, the shallow lake;
The reedy ere is all yonr own
And all the FISH yon take.
Thou standest upon those natural siil's
Amid the MONDAY blaze,
So hot, the very heritage willis;
Blu, thee it canno, faze.
As if quite petrifed. you stand,
10 the deep oozy bog,
And wal, until you there have scanned
A crawfish or frog.
Now thou hast pinned thy wings for flight
And thy legs hang out behind,
As IL rudder to steer thee right,
The far off lakes to find.
Thy flight is over the Badger plains,
Swifler than goose or brandt;
And Thy swift career, entirely shames
The stately adjutanl.
Feaihered giraffe! who lent you wingss
Who furnished you those lsgsl
How could such everlasting things
As those, come out of eggsl
A representative like you,
(If one you could be unadel
Would use up tad,poies not few,
And the fish that reiro-grade.
