THE HANGBIRD'S NEST
Fashioned so fair, this small inverted dome,
With bits of moss, and grass, and strings,
And underneath the brooding wings,
Four tender, tiny, gaping things,
And near the nest the one who sings.
Ah! heart of mine, is this not truly home?
With bits of moss, and grass, and strings,
And underneath the brooding wings,
Four tender, tiny, gaping things,
And near the nest the one who sings.
Ah! heart of mine, is this not truly home?
