THE JUBILEE OF THE spARRows.

THE JUBILEE OF THE SPARRoWS.
Oh what is this tumult and stir and commotion?
And what are the sparrows all talking about
Say, why do they beckon and nod to each otherf
Do they fear that some one their secret will out?
Twas early this morning met gay party
All busily chat'ring way down by the brook;
Each bird to the other some news was relating,
And they never so much as gave me a look
Pray what is this matter that seems so important?
Oh, do you not know, sir, and cannot you say
Why each little hearts in a whirl OF emotion.
And throbs as leaf on q mad windy day.
'Tis that they're expecting host of relations,
All bright, merry cousins from woodland and
mere,
And strangers from over the surf beating ocean,
So blithesome and clipper, and full Of wild
cheer.
And this seems the reason the little brown spar
row
Is glad when the long, dreary winter Is DER,
For spring on her wings bears the wealth of the
tropics,
And scatters profusion from hill top to shore.
