BIRDS. 
a ¥Ju, the sunny summer time! 
Z A’ Oh, the leafy summer time! 
0) i Merry is the bird’s life, 
i When the year is in its prime! 
* Birds are by the water-falls 
Dashing in the rainbow-spray ; 
Everywhere, everywhere 
Light and lovely there are they! 
Birds are in the forest old, 
Building in each hoary tree ; 
Birds are on the green hills; 
Birds are by the sea! 
On the moor, and in the fen, 
‘Mong the wortle-berries green ; 
In the yellow furze-bush 
There the joyous bird is seen ;
