XLI. ON SEEING SOME BIRDS IN WINTER
Feeding at the Study Window of the Rev. F. O. Morris, Nunburnholme Rectory.
Trust him, ye gentle birds, of various wing:Flock to his window, flutter round your friend:
Through these inclement days ye may depend
On his prompt hand the punctual crumbs to bring.
And oh, remember when, in sunny Spring,
Your earliest lays to bounteous Heaven ascend,
Some grateful notes for Christmas fare to blend,
And at your patron's casement sweetly sing.
For not alone when gusts of Winter blow
He loves you, but through all the changing year;
To his kind care thanks manifold ye owe;
His voice secures for you a nation's ear;
Then trust him when the air is thick with snow,
And warble to him when the skies are clear.
