A PROTEST FROM THE BIRDS.

Fair as liquid azure, of amaiden's gentle eye?
Did you hear its fute-like carol, each clear vi
brating note,
Flow out in bubbling rapture from its melodi
Gus throat?
Did you see that golden robin, the orioles
scarlet frame,
Dart thro' the daeky wood like a shaft of liv.
ing flame?
Did you hear its sweet voie'd anthem as it
futter'd on its way.
Dropping rich pearls of song in merry round
eiayE
And yet those winged darlings that sweep the
fields of air,
So Joyous in their carols, with plumes so
wondrous fair,
Yield up their happy lives and cease their
songs to pour,

from future woes,
From slaughter of the innocents, from greed
of cruel foes!
There were birds from all the woods and all
the fields around,
The rarest of the song-birds, birds with Il
glory crown'd.
The grosbeak and the kingbird, woodpeckers
gray and pied,
The sanderling. the grebe and gull, that haunt
the water side;
The bunting and the wax wing. the blackbird
slash'd with red,
The warbler, the swallow, the Jay with crested
head.
The ruffd grouse from the woodlands, the
piping russell quail
All birds from hedge and thicket, from orch.
ard and from vale.
They sang their hymns, they poul'd their
song in pitiful lament.
They prun'd their burnish'd wings, their
necks in grief they bent;
In notes of supplication they begged each
lovely maid
Would rend the blood-stained plumes ABOVE
her forehead laid.
