The Angry Bobolink |
|
Pretty little bobolink In your satin coat, Trimmed with white across the neck Black about the throat, Why so angry do you seem? Why so fierce your mien? That you're scolding somebody Plainly can be seen.
"Don't you know," says bobolink, As he shakes his head, That my nest is hidden in This soft grassy bed? Somebody has come too near, And I wish to say There is no admittance here Pass the other way.
"If my gentle little wife Sits so calm above, It's because she knows I'll guard This dear nest we love." Fear not, pretty bobolink, Sing your joyous song, Never will I trouble you, Sing, the whole day long.
(from Cinderella or, the Little Glass Slipper and Other Stories )
