The Maryland Yellow-Throat 



To Margey Christine Ennine 



Airy, cheery, little fay! 



He goes warbling all the day — 



"Margey, Margey, Margey!" 

 Thank you for that mellow note. 

 1 lapjjy-hearted Yellow-throat ; 

 My heart sings the same sweet song. 

 O'er and o'er, the whole day long — 



"Margey, Margey. Margey!" 



In the dawn, by babbling rill, 

 There I hear him gayly trill — 



"Margey, Margey, Margey!" 

 When the sunset's purple cloud 

 Folds the rose in dewy shroud, 

 Still I hear him pil)ing low. 

 In the twilight's tender glow — 



"Margey, Margey, Margey !" 



Then, in sleep, I hear him call, 

 By some Dreamland and waterfall, 



"Margey, Margey, Margey !" 

 Sweetest word was ever sung 

 Ry mortal or immortal tongue ; 

 Sweet as Love's first sacrifice : 

 Sweet as love in Paradise — 



"Margey, Margey, Margey !" 



Ray Ron.
