Text Appearing Before Image:
SONG bird, perched in the orchard near, Poured forth her notes on the morning air: Then flew to protect her birdlings dear, From a truant boy who wandered there. She fluttered about and cried with pain, Oh! Spare my darlings! Theyre all my care. But her cries of fear were all in vain, Her birdlings are gone, her nest is bare. She sings no more in the orchard tree,But chirps to her disappointed mate Of her birdlings sweet, no more to be;Of cruel boys and of cruel fate. So grief worn mothers, in sad despair, Mourn for their lost ones and find no rest; They were once their joy, their pride and care;But Rum has robbed the dear home nest. But law protects the song birds nest,Avenges their blood in field and glen; But laws, which answer our own behest,Refuse to shelter the Homes of Men. Blasts From The Rams Horn. 281
