Conclude that they away will roam,
To seek for milder weather.
The robin gives his last sweet strain,
His mate, responding, follows;
And then away they lead the train
Of bluebirds, wrens, and swallows.
The cuckoo, thrush, and yellow-bird,
The wild goose, teal, and sparrow,
Martin and chippee, all are heard
To sing their parting carol.
