The Bird’s Nest

THE BIRD’S NEST
5313

A little bird built a warm nest in a tree,
And laid some blue eggs in it-one, two, three;
And then very glad and delighted was she- :
Very glad and delighted was she

And after a time, but how long I can’t tell,
The little ones crept one by one from the shell;
And their mother was pleased, and she loved them well-
She was pleased, and she loved them well

She spread her soft wings on them all day long,
To warm them and guard them, her love was so strong;
And her mate sat beside her and sung her a song-
Her mate sat beside her and sung her a song
