“O Birds, your perfect virtues bring, 
Your song, your forms, your rhythmic flight, 
Your manners for the heart's delight, 
Nestle in hedge, or barn, or roof. 
Here weave your chamber weather proof ; 
Forgive our harms, and condescend 
To man, as to a lubber friend, 
jAnd, generous, teach his awkward race 
Courage, and probity, and grace!’ 
EMERSON.
