IMPROMTU ON FINDING A BIRDS NEST
Fear not little younglings no robber is nigh yeNo unfeeling clown wipes thy screening boughs bye
The poor harmless bees in the flower blooming by ye
Are not more unlikley to wrong ye then I
But foot paths are nigh ye I fear yell be taken
Right glad shoud I be in the next summers grove
If your young songs inform me my doubts are mistaken
Twill be a sweet source of enjoyment to prove
