Tu whit! whit! whit! he tries in vain
To whistle in a cheerful way;
He feels he's badly sold, and that—
He came too early in the day.
I sprinkle seed and crumbs around;
He quickly flies and famished eats:—
He would have starved to death had he
Relied on proverb-making cheats.
Of the same up-Springings, in higher vein, we have the following:—
APRIL.
