WHITE THROATED SPARROWS.

The White throated Sparrow, a provident bird,
Revealed deepest wisdom in simplest word;
“Sow wheat and sow plenty—oh yes, sow a plenty,
Though Peverly’s small he has hunger of twenty.”
“When the granary’s full, and reapers go feastin’,
I’ll cheer you ag’in, with my fiddle-in’, fiddle-in’,
The long hours through, a-fiddle-in’, fiddle-in’.”[3]
A versatile singer, an artist o’er shy,
Now uplifted his voice to his Maker on high.
