OUR FRIENDS, THE BIRDS. 101 
But if we, with spring days mellow, 
Wake to woeful wrecks of change, 
And the Sparrow’s ritornello 
Scaling still its old sweet range; 
Can we do a better thing 
Than, with him, still build and sing? 
QUESTIONS. 
Have you heard a Song Sparrow this year? 
Have you seen one? 
Do you know him from Chippie, the Hair Bird? 
When does he come to the north? 
Where does he build? 
What kind of nest ? 
How many nests in one year? 
Do they ever raise two broods in one nest ? 
Have you ever seen one in winter? 
Is he one of the poet’s favorite birds? 
Where do you find this from Lowell: “A week 
ago, the Sparrow was divine?”
