“Another thing of interest about the Song Sparrow: like the Bluebird, he belongs not alone to us of the East, but to the whole United States as well. To be sure, he changes his size, dress, and name slightly according to location, as does the Bluebird; another proof of the adaptability of the bird to circumstances.

THE SONG SPARROW

By the road in early spring

Always hopefully you sing;

It may rain or it may snow,

Sun may shine or wind may blow,

Still your dainty strain we hear—

“Cheer—Cheer—

Never, never fear,

May will soon be here.”
