SPARE THE BIRDS!

o God! that thou wouldst touch my
tongue
With fervor so divine,
That ev'ry heart might feel my words
Az they were words OF Thine.
. Thou that knowst all human hearts,
know'st all they have OF need,
pray Thee make them tender,
And give me power to plead!
Thou know'st the little birds, o Lord,
The birds that Thou hast made;
Thou seest them singing in the sun,
And brooding in the shade.
The bonny, bonny little birds,
1t is their hour OF need;
They have no power to beg for life:
1t is for them | plead.
The human cry to God is still
For mercy, mercy solely;
The birds sing only God be praised"
And Holy, holy, holy"
They have no power TO cry to us
When pride or fashion Stays them
For woman who pretends to love,
And, Judas-like, betrays them
For woman, who will praise the song,
Then bid them Stay the singer,
That the wee head or tortured breast
Some added charm may bring her.
Could ye but see the bright wings torn
From birds alive and bleeding,
And note their quiyering agony,
l had no need for pleading;
The wingless form flung in the dirt;
Its deathly pain and terror
Would wake in every woman's heart
A bitter sense of error.
Ten thousand thousand little birds,
In cruel hands a-dying,
Have heard, with breaking mother
hearts,
Their hungry nestlings crying.
The bonny, bonny little birds!
1t is their hour of need;
They have no power to beg for life;
1t is for them | plead.
Miss Elizabeth Freeland.
