THE LITTLE ACROBAT. 



Jennie Wren is as fussy as a Iiouse wren can he, 



Keeping Jack on the go, with no rest. 

 He has looked high and low for the right kind of a tree 



In which they can locate their nest. 



He has shown her the very best sites, in his search, 

 In boxes, in sheds and nooks near the ground; 



A nice hole in an oak, beech, chestnut and birch, 

 But nothing to suit can be found. 



At last to the orchard with its fragrance so sweet 



The trees laden with blossoms so fine, 

 He finds just wliat Jennie says is so neat 



And she knew where it was all the time."
