LOVE THE BIRDS.

Listen children, to the voices
OF yon feathered songster gay;
How zach golden tongue rejoices
This sunshiDy summer day.
Richsr now their notes and fuller
As they feel the glow of spring;
And bedeekt with brighter color
swolls each throat and lits each wing.
And not fair alone, but clever;
For with only beak and feet,
And without n teacher ever,
Nests they weaye-round, warm and neat.
They are full Of life and gladness,
Bright and busy all day long;
What have they to do with sadness2
What have they to fear Of wrong?
Who their shining eggs would plumber
Who their charming songs would still?
Who would tear their homes asunler,
Blilt with so much care and kin?
God has made them FOR enjoyment
Not their own alone, but ours;
Who would stop their sweet employment,
Singing, nesting, in the bowers!
Who would rob them Of their pleasure2
Who would blight their busy dsy.l
Who would take from birds their treasure,
And from God such songs Of praise?
Children, guard them, love them dearly;
Learn yourselves from birds to sing,
As they MARBLE sweetIy. clearly.
Like the angels to their Kingi
