DON'T KILL THE BIRDS
Don't kill the birds, the pretty birds,
That sing about your door,
Soon as the joyous spring has come,
And chilling storms are DER.

o. let them joyous live;
And never seek to take the life
That you can never give.
Don't kill the birds. the pretty birds
That play among the trees
'Twould make the earth cherries place,
Should we dispense with these,
The little birds, how fond they play
Do not disturb their sport;
But let them MARBLE forth their songs,
Til winter cut them short.
