BIRD’S-NESTING 119 
summer, and we are looking forward to many more 
springs and summers among the bird-folk. Let me 
end as I began — go bird’s-nesting. Escape into the 
open from these narrow in-door days, and learn the 
way to where the wild-folk dwell. Seek their paterans 
and share their secrets. In their land you will find 
the help of the hills, and hope wide as the world, and 
strength and youth and health and happiness in full 
measure. Try it.
