Shot the brave prow that cut on Vinland sands
The first rune in the Saga of the West.
James Russell Lowell, The Voyage to Vinland.
Birch (Harvey), a prominent character in The Spy, a novel by J.F. Cooper.
Bird (My). Fanny Forester (Emily Chubbuck Judson) thus addressed her baby daughter (1848).

Broad earth owns not a happier nest.
Oh, God! Thou hast a fountain stirred
Whose waters never more shall rest.
