Fen sparrows chirp


At distance from the waters edge
On hanging thorn boughs farthest stretch
The more hen 'gins her nest of sedge
Safe from destroying boys to reach
Fen sparrows chirp & flye to fetch 
The witherd reed down rustling nigh
& by the sunny side the ditch
Prepare their dwelling warm & dry
