Or what Young Devils they all are,

Or Scarlet Dames, or the First Star,

Or South-Sea-Jazz-Hounds sorrowing,

It would be quite another thing:

But, Bird, here they come mousing round

On my suburban, sacred ground,

And see my happiness—it's flat,

You wretched Bird, they'll sing of that!

They'll hymn my Happy Hearth, and later

The joys of my Refrigerator,
