The sunlight of the gracious sky,

The tender toying of the breeze.

What made thee leave thy leafy home,

The deep hid shelter of the tree,

The sounds of wind and stream, and come

To where all sounds are strange to thee?

Thou wilt not answer anything;

Thy thoughts from these are far away;

Five little globes beneath thy wing,

Are all thou thinkest on to-day.
