Fluttering linnets


In distant trees—& nigh hand in the wood

That skirts its shadow oer my mossy seat
I love that pleasant russling noise to meet
That tells of happiness with more then me
Of fluttering linnets this years summer brood
That 'scaped the schoolboys eye & fly to greet
Their happy parent hasting home with food
