Wrongly of slumber, rudely of rest.
“From the north, from the east, from the south and the west,
Woodland, wheat-field, corn-field, clover,
Over and over and over and over,
Five o’clock, ten o’clock, twelve or seven,
Nothing but robin-songs heard under heaven:
How can we sleep?”
—Sidney Lanier, “Owl Against Robin.”
LOUISIANA WATER-THRUSH.
(Seiurus motacilla).
