" I've plucked the berry from the bush, the brown nut from the tree, 

 But heart of happy little bird ne'er broken was by me. 

 I saw them in their curious nests, close crouching, slyly peer 

 With their wild eyes, like glittering beads, to note if harm were near7 

 I passed them by and blessed them all ; I felt that it was good 

 To leave unmoved the creatures small whose house was in the wood.'*
