BIRDS OF KANSAS 



BENJAMIN F. EYER 



Teacher in Science, Topeka High School. 



Think, every morning ivhen the sun peeps through 

 The dim, leaf-latticed windoivs of the grove, 

 Hoiij jubilant the happy birds reneiv 

 Tlieir old, melodious madrigals of love. 

 And when you think of this, remember too 

 'Tis always morning somewhere, and above 

 The aivakening continents, from shore to shore, 

 Somewhere the birds are singing evermore. 



— Longfellow.
