our motto. On our way from school the
boys shoot the birds. Every time see
them I think of these words:
Don't kill the little birds,
That sing on bush and tree,
All through the summer days,
Their sweetest melody.
Don't shoot the little birds!
The earth is Gods estate,
And He provideth food
For small as well as great.
Think of the good they do
In all the orchards round;
No hurtful insects thrive
Where robins most abound. -,-
