Slow circuit of room, mother singing, child now and then uttering happy peeps.

In 2nd circuit mother often pauses, anxiously craning her head about, scanning sky for hawks, “Peeps” and “Craws” at pleasure, in the singing.

O, here comes a Hen

With a most happy mind,

Her one little chick

Close a-walking behind.

The morning is warm

And the sun is on high,

No hawk to be seen

In the blue summer sky.
