bird seeks by probing with its bill the

There are miles and miles OF wet

the soil. composed OF peat and de-
cayed leaf mold, is too cold and sour
to hold worms. Into such swamps the
woodcock never goes The best wood

woodland brooks that wind I'm and out
through alder swamps, where the rich

and where the skunk cabbage and he'll
