THE BLUEBIRD. 



I know the song that the bluebird is sing-

Out In the apple-tree where he is swing-

Brave little fellow 1 the skies may be 

 dreary, 



Nothing cares he while his heart is so 

 cheery. 



Hark I how the music leaps out from his 

 throat! 



Hark! was there ever so merry a note? 



Listen awhile, and you'll hear what he's 

 saying. 



Up in the apple-tree, swinging and sway- 

 ing: 



"Dear little blossoms down under the 



snow. 

 You must be weary of winter I know; 

 Hark ! while, I sing you a message of 



cheer. 

 Summer Is coraing and springtime is here! 



"Little white snowdrop. I pray you arise: 

 Bright yellow crocus, come, open your eyes; 

 Sweet little violets hid from the cold. 

 Put on your raiintles of purple and gold; 

 DafCodils. daffodils! say do you hear? 

 Summer is coming and springtime is here!" 

 — Emily Httntingfou Miller.
