Birds. 



IV. Scansores, or Climbers. 



THE CUCKOO. (Cuculus canorus.) 



" Hail, beauteous stranger of the wood, 



Attendant on the spring ! 

 Now Heaven repairs thy rural seat, 

 And woods thy welcome sing. 



" Soon as the daisy decks the green, 



Thy certain voice we hear ; 

 Hast thou a star to guide thy path, 

 Or mark the rolling year ?
