THE WARBLING VIREO'S WILD- 

 WOOD HOME. 



The Hangbird's Nest. 

 Secluded within the shadowy wood, 



Amid the flowers, the ferns, the leafy soil, 

 The silvery whispering maple stood, 



Around its trunk, a wild vine's creepers coil 

 From swaying limb, the hangbird's nest was 

 hung, 



To topmost bough the cradle was safely 

 twined. 

 Here throughout June days the noted vireos 

 sung. 

 Nor were their songs to nesting tree con- 

 fined. 

 But never far, I heard their warbling strain, 

 Inspiring gladness swelled through liquid 

 note, 

 A subtile lisping of a sweet refrain, 



'Till raptured zephyrs bore it on to float 

 Through leafy wood, 'till lost the precious 



sound. 

 'Twas heard no more, 'till eager sylphids 

 found 

 Again limpid notes to waft the glen around.
