HOW THE CROW LOST HIS

VOICE.
I've found out why the old black
crow
That oaws the whole day long
As ne sweeps winging to and fro
Can never sing a song.
A tragic tale il is. and sad
Yet every word is true;
/ heard it from a tiny lad
And here il is, for you
Long. long ago. when in the trees
The songsters gave a ball.
And chanted Choruses and glees
The crow Outsang them all.
Although they strained their little
threats
In bursts of glorious song
Above their best soprano notes
his voice rang clear and strong.
/ But he was greedy. was the crow.
And when came autumn time
And the birds prepared TO go
To seek a SUMMER cline,
/ He said, Il think I'll stay right here
For when they're gone. you see
/ (And here he leered a knowing leer)
ThereH be more worms for me.
He stayed. and caught a cold OF
course.
And when again came spring
He found that he had grown SO
hoarse
He simply couldn't sing
And now when winds blow cold and
raw
And he goes numbering by
/ With nothing but a husky cav.
You'll know the reason why.
