THE BABIES APPEAE. 31 



nearly the middle of July, full-grown chewink 

 babies, in brown coats and streaked vests, made 

 their appearance in the grove, and after that the 

 whole world might search the scrub oaks and 

 not a bird would say him nay. 



" All is silent now 



Save bell-note from some wandering cow, 

 Or rippling 1 lark-song far away."
