BY HcREkT MoNTGoNERi.
What bird in b.su,y, flight or cong,
Can with the Bard compare;
Who sang as sweet, and SCARED as strong.
Az ever child o! air.
His note, his form, his plume, could Burns
BY him, or pleasure change;
He was not one, but all by turns,
In trsnsmigrstion strange.
Tn Black bird, oracle offspring,
When fow'd bis moral lay;
The swallow wheeling Oh tue Why
Capriciously at play.
The wood-lark. in bs lonely house
The bulfinch in his mirth;
The thrush, a spendthritt of his powers,
Eurapturing Heaven and earth!
He was the wren. amidst the grove,
When in his homely VEIN;
At Bannock burn, the bird Of Jove,
With thunder in his train
The humming bird. from bloom to bloom,
Inhaling Heavenly balm,
The raven in the tempest's gloom,
The hslcyon in the calm.
The swan, in majesty and grace,
COMMEMORATIVE, and still;
When reused. no falcon in the chase,
Csuld like his satire kill;
The linet in simplicity,
In tenderness the dove;
But more than all, indeed, was he.
The nightingale, in love!
All had he never stoop'd TO shame,
Nor lent a charm to vice,
How would dero,ion loved 10 name
That Bird Of Parad'Sc!
Peace 70 the dead! in Scotis's choir
OF minstrels. great aud small,
He sprung from his spontaneous fire,
The Phoenix of them all!
