The little bird upon the hillside lonely,

Flits noiselessly along from spray to spray.

THE SING-AWAY BIRD.

Have you ever heard of the sing-away bird,

That sings where the run-away river

Runs down with its rills from the bald-headed hills

That stand in the sunshine and shiver?

Oh, sing, sing away, sing away!

How the pines and the birches are stirred

By the trill of the sing-away bird!
