THE BOBOLINK. 



Merrily swinging on brier and weed, 

 iVear to the nest of his little dame, 

 Over the mountain, river, and mead, 

 Robert of Lincoln is telling his name : 

 Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, 

 Spink, spank, spink ; 

 Snug and safe is that nest of ours. 

 Hidden among the summer flowers, 

 Chee, chee, chee ! 



Bryant.
