THE €II1LD AND TUE KOUIH. 17 15. 1 There eamo t^ my window, one morning in spring, A sweet little robifi ; he eanie there to sing : The tune he was singinji; was prettier far Than over I heard on the flute or guitar. 2 He raised his light wings to soar off far away ; Then resting a moment seem'd sweetly to say, "0 happy, how happy this world seems to be ; Awake, Uttlo child, and be happy with mo." 3 The sweet bird then mounted upon his fight wing, And flew to a tree-top, and there did he sing \ I listened delighted, and hop'd ho would stay. And come to my window at dawn of the day. =J M ■■■.'■■. 16. ^ Tllfi SPARKOW. 1 The sparrow builds her clever nest .
