Nest and Eggs op the Song sparrow 



A bird's nest. Mark it well, within, withoat, 

 No tool had he that wrought, no knife to cut, 

 No nail to fix, no bodkin to insert. 

 No glue to join; his little beak was all. 

 And yet how neatly finish'd! What nice hand, 

 With every implement and means of art. 

 And twenty years' apprenticeship to boot, 

 Could make me such another? " 



HURDIS.
