Text Appearing Before Image:
hores of lakes,Or marge of sounding sea. The Pelican, in quest of fish.Roams uncontrolled and free. Now hovering on rapid wing.Now down to earth, now high, And circling round in airy ringTo chase the painted fly. THE THRUSH. THE XEMA. How gaily sounds the Thmshs voice In liquid notes and fast.As if to bid the vales rejoice That winter stem is past! In far-off lands, neath northern skies, And on the sui-fy shore.Lives the lone Xema, and delights In oceans thunder roar. THE VULTURE. THE YELLOWHAMMER. On rugged rock the Vulture waitsTo scent its carrion prey. When down into the plains belowIt takes its rapid way. W ho does not know this faVrite birdWith spotted yeUow breast ? Of moss and roots and hair, with skillHe weaves his curious nest. THE WREN. THE OUZEL. A tiny bird the modest Wren,Yet pleasant is his song ; His little nest he loves to buildThe hawthorn bowers among. The Ouzel is a songster sweetAs you could wish to hear. And in the woodland echoes farHis note both rich and clear.
