Bobolink
Bobolink—
He is here!
Spink-a-chink!
Hark, how clear
Drops the note 5
From his throat,
Where he sways
On the sprays
Of the wheat
In the heat! 10
Bobolink,
Spink-a-chink!
Bobolink
Is a beau.
See him prink! 15
Watch him go
Through the air
To his fair!
Hear him sing
On the wing,—
Sing his best
O'er her nest! 5
"Bobolink,
Spink-a-chink!"
Bobolink,
Linger long!
There's a kink 10
In your song
Like the joy
Of a boy
Left to run
In the sun,— 15
Left to play
All the day.
Bobolink,
Spink-a-chink!
