    Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these?
    Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught
    The dialect they speak, where melodies
    Alone are the interpreters of thought?
    Whose household words are songs in many keys,
    Sweeter than instrument of man e'er caught!
    - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,

The woosel cock so black of hue,
With orange-tawny bill,
The throstle with his note so true,
The wren with little quill--
. . . .
The finch, the sparrow, and the lark,
The plain-song cuckoo grey,
Whose note full many a man doth mark,
And dares not answer nay.
