the day in which to sing. I mean, I think it's 

 the best time to hear singing," for of course Peter 

 himself does not sing at all.

 Shadows came creeping out over the Green 

 Meadows, Sweetvoice, perched on the top of a 

 bramble-bush over Peter's head, sang over and 

 over again the sweetest little song and kept on 

 singing even after it was quite dark. Peter didn't 

 know it, but it is this habit of singing in the 

 evening which has given Sweetvoice his name of 

 Vesper Sparrow.
