reared and plunged but their impetus was
such that they could not stop quickly

Their feathers cleaning as on fire,
Their breasts as golden as the sun.

Sat browsing in the sunlight there
Content to dream throughout the day,
And cheat of song the tranquil air.
But suddenly saw one bird
Spread ont his shining wings to fly,
And ere he passed from sight heard
A joyous carol in the sky
Then, fearing solitude too long,
The other followed in his wake,
And gave the air q grievous song,
As though his ttay heart would break.
And as listened came the thought
Why are their songs so different?
Is it that each message caught
