What do you think I saw to-day when I arose at dawn? / Blue Wrens and Yellow-tails dancing on the lawn! / Bobbing here, and bowing there, gossiping away, / And how I wished that you were there to see the merry play!
But you were snug abed, my boy, blankets to your chin, / Nor dreamed of dancing birds without or sunbeams dancing in.
