A bird last spring came to my ■window
shutter, ~ - v .
One lovely morning at the break of Bay;
And from his little throat did sweetly ntter
A most melodious lay.
He had no language for his joyous passion,
No solemn measure, no artistic.rhyme;
; Yet no devoted, minstrel e’er did fhAhirm
Such perfect tune and time.
It seemed' of thousand joys a. thousand
' stories,
1 All gushing forth in. one tumultuous tide?
A hallelujah for the morning glories
That bloomed on every sida
And with each canticle’s voluptuons ending,
He sipped a dew drop horn the dripping
pane;
Then heavenward his little ,bill extending,
Broke forth in song again.
I thought to emulate his wild emotion,
And learn thanksgiving from his tuneful
. tongue;
But human heart ne’er such devotion,
Nor human lips such song.
At length he flew and left me in my sorrow,
Best I should hear those tender notes no
more;
And though I early waked for him each
morrow.
He came not nigh my door. *
But once again, one silent summer even, ;
I met him hopping in the new mown
hay;
But he was mute, and looked not np to ]
heaven— 3
