    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.

Thou little bird, thou dweller by the sea,
Why takest thou its melancholy voice,
And with that boding cry
Along the waves dost thou fly?
Oh! rather, bird, with me
Through this fair land rejoice!

Over increasingly large areas of the United States, spring now
comes unheralded by the return of the birds, and the early
mornings are strangely silent where once they were filled with
