POET TIC AL.
THE FOUR LITTLE IMrS.
BY JOEL STACY.
Four little imps and four little birds
Lived up in the self same tree;
And the kindly ways of those four little inps
Was . beautiful sight to see.
They fed and tended those orphan birds
All through the blossoming days;
And never were tired of sitting around
And watching their comical ways.
Their pitiful squeak they took for song
As sweet as they ever had heard
And they sometimes laughed, and oftener sighed,
In feeding each motherless bird.
&c. gently they tended them, day by day,
Till their four little pets had grown,
And, longing to go to the beautiful sky,
Each bird from the nest had flown.
And when all were gone, the four little iups
Did wipe their eight little eyes,
And scamper away to assuage their grief
Which seems to me rather wise.
