Text Appearing Before Image:
cap was ebon-tinged,With ivory pale its wings were barred,And its dark eyes were tender-starred.Dear bird, I said, what is thy name?And thrice the mournful answer came, So faint and far, and yet so near,—Pe-wee! pe-wee! peer! John Townsend Trowbridge 157 The Kingbird Im a king, though my gold crown hides in black, And my robe is a sober gray;But my fan-shaped train, with its band of white,And my shining tunic, like ermine bright. Are truly a kings array. Ive the valiant heart of a mighty kingWho knows neither failure nor fear;When pillaging hawks attack my nest,I fly at their eyes till they cease their quest;I am even the eagles peer. My little feathered friends I shield From the thieving crow and jay;And when I approach a swarm of bees,Tis the lazy, useless drones I seize; I rule in a royal way. Ill whisper a secret! Keep it safe! Though I fight with my great foes well.When a tiny humming-bird hovers near by,I spread my wings, and away I fly! Obey the king! Dont tell! A. E. B. 158
Text Appearing After Image:
The Sandpiper 159 The Sandpiper By a tiny pool or a silvery stream; Beside the reed-rimmed shoreOf a crystal lake, or on a beach Where crested billows roar,We may watch a flock of gray-brown birds. With breasts like snowy foam,That alight and bow and bob and tip. While over the sands we roam.The fragrant, dank, salt-laden air With their plaintive tones rings sweet;As the surf rolls in, we hear them cry, Peet-weet! Wet-feet! Wet-feet! A. E. B. 160
