ONE OF TWO.
Listen and look! If you listen, you see
A nest with a bird in yonder tree:
Above, in the leaves that glitter with May,
The little half-owner is singing to-day:
“We are very proud, we are rich, and bless'd—
Come and look, if you please, at our nest.”

Come and look, if you please, at our nest.”
Listen and look! If you look, you hear
The sweetest song you have heard for a year:
Over the nest on the tremulous spray
The little half-owner is singing to-day:
“Soon, in the nest I have asked you to see,
Listen and look for our family!”
