And we're home again! Home again!

BIRD SONG

I am friendly with the sparrow
Though his mind is rather narrow
And his manners--well, the less we say the better.
But as day begins to peep,
When I hear his cheery "Cheep"

All the babblers, chats and wrens,
Tits and robins, and their hens,
Are my very special friends, and bring me joy.
