From his moist cabinet mounts up on high and wakes the morning." (1)

Twice or thrice his roundelay." (2)

Jargoning like a foreigner at his food; (3)
The ********, balanced on some topmost spray,
Flooding with melody the neighborhood." (4)

Paddles and plunges, busy still." (5)

Gentlest of all thy race—sweet ******-****!" (6)

Mocks married men, for thus sings he, ***-***!" (8)

Is frequent and pleasant
When all other calls are hushing." (9)

Lets the loose water waft him as it will." (10)

The ***** *** in the belfry sits." (11)

High on the cliff, and feasts his young with blood." (12)

Most musical, most melancholy bird." (13)

That crowds and hurries and precipitates
With fast, thick warble his delicious notes." (14)
