The whispery Bird

XETHEN Daddy and go a-walkng in spring.
w We listen and listen to hear the birds sing
robins and fnches and kinglets I've heard,
The warblers and thrushes, bat never word,
No, chirp from the 'fWhispery Bird.
I've often thought the birds that know
To if there's that would probably go
And whisper to of me the sly;
But would do it, they are all so shy,
Though creep to them softly, away they all fly.
Yet each of the secrets that my knows
A little bird told her, which, do you spose?
Unless it's real little Whispery Bird,
Who has go tattle whatever he's heard,
And can't keep secret not word
I think he's creature who goes SOUTH
And has for a beak just commonplace mouth,
With grown big he them for wings.
He's nice birdie that chirrups and SINGS
But just stays in corners to listen to things
If ever find him I'm satisfied that
It wouldn't be naughty to call in the cat
But while looking, the very best
Is just to be good 1 can every day
So the Whispery Bird can have nothing to say.
