Our Birds i'm Verse
By Henry Oldys
WOOD THRUSH.

Oh nightingale with varied voice.
Sweet medley is the gift to thee.
Our thrush hath made the better choice,
In precious melody.
Poets with praise have often glowed
Before thy fountains bubbling gush,
But few the looks or words bestowed
By man upon the thrush.
Yet when the wood thrush lifts his strain
Of pure and rhythmic melody
As crest of Shasta DER the plain.
So tow'rs he over thee.
Sweet in the calm of evening. bark
What liquid themes the forest thrill
Let bulbul, blackbird, robin, lark,
And nightingale be still.
The clear, melodious song has sped,
Yet in the soul its accents linger.
Avian musicians, bow the head
This is the nastersinger.
