THE HOUSH-SPARROW,.

' i. birds as men there is a strange variety, 
< Zn ) In both your dandies and Lyome petits miatres ; 
a gaiters ; ‘ 
Your hawks, and gulls, and harpies to satiety. 
On sea or land it matters not an ace— 
You find the feathered or unfeathered race 
Of bipeds, showing every form and figure, 
But everywhere the sharp-clawed and the 
bigger — 
Falcons that shoot, and men that pull the 
trigger — 
Still pressing on the lesser and forlorn! 
’Tis hard to bear, and yet it must be borne, 
Although we walk about in wrath and scorn,
