BIRD LIFE IN WASHINGTON 
129 
There’ll he richly clad guests at the wed- 
ding 
Of the Kinglet with golden crown : 
With his green robed bride he’ll be head¬ 
ing 
The gay march of the clans in brown. 
There’ll come pretty Bluebirds, rose 
breasted 
To the chimes which the lily-bell tells, 
With the saucy Blue Jay, the Court Jester 
Unencumbered by “Cap and bells.” 
There’ll be sunkissed wee Warblers and 
Finches 
There’ll be Black-birds with wings 
aflame 
To these nuptials, among the branches, 
()f the birds with the royal name.
