THE FIGHT OF THE SONG birds

Around the cedars on the lawn
The evening mlsts are early drawn,
On each its cobwebs gittering bells
At noon Of autumn's cold breath tells.
The woods their &C lden mantle wear.
To grace the passing Of the year
Saddest IF all rcsounds no trill
From blithesoIne warblers all are still,
The cuckoo long ago has fed
The blackcap dulled his sable head,
The whltethro9t sought more sunny cllmes
The fearful swallow left betimes
Der barren moor or stubble bright
The wood wren wings her silent flight,
While many a whistle from the skies
Marks where the ploycr southwark flies.
What guides these birds to warmer lands
Doth chance impose such strict commands
Did myraid races die before
Survivors sought foreign shore !
Not so creative love impressed
Upon their natures his behest
And still, obedient they observe
The charge, nor from his purpose swerye.
We grieye, but lasting song would cloy
Capacities of sober joy
And, though we miss and monrn the bands
OF birds which fit to stranger lands,
Brighter the welcome we extend
Nsxt April to each wen known friend
And more we long, mid winters snow,
To hear new songs when lilies blow.
