Touch not the little Sparrow, who doth build Barry Cornwall
A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind
Sparrow, the gun is levelled, quit that wall
THE WREN
Grahame

Grahame 9
The little woodland dwarf, the tiny Wren
Besides the Redbreast's note, one other strain
There is a bay, all still and lone Rev. F. W. Faber, M.A. 10
Wren, canst thou squeeze into a hole so small?
Little warbler! long hast thou
Why is the Cuckoo's melody preferred
Montgomery 12
Jennings 13

THE BLACKCAP
Oh! fair befal thee, gay Fauvette
Come ye, come ye, to the green, green wood
Fain, 'mid the hawthorn's budding boughs
Well! in my many walks I've rarely found
Waring 15
William Howitt 16
Bishop Mant 16
John Clare 17
THE SWALLOW
Less loud, but not less clear, His humbler works
The welcome guest of settled spring
Welcome, welcome, feathered stranger
Away, away, why dost thou linger here
Grahame 19

W. Howitt 23
Swallow, why homeward turned thy joyful wing? Montgomery 24
Ye gentle birds, that perch aloof
THE WOODPECKER
Hayley 24
The Woodpecker green he has not his abiding
I knew by the smoke, that so gracefully curl'd
THE WATER-WAGTAIL
On the walls that guard my prison
Mary Howitt 25
Moore 28
Oh, the sunny summer time!
THE TITMOUSE
The merry Titmouse is a comical fellow
Least, nimblest, merriest bird of Albion's isle
THE KING-FISHER
The Halcyon flew across the stream
The mariners with lightsome heart
Why dost thou hide thy beauty from the sun?
THE WOODLARK
O stay, sweet warbling Woodlark, stay
Goddess of the realm of song
Thy notes are silenced, and thy plumage mew'd
