I WISH you were a pleasant wren, / And I your small accepted mate; / How we'd look down on toilsome men! / We'd rise and go to bed at eight / Or it may be not quite so late.
Then you should see the nest I'd build, / The wondrous nest for you and me; / The outside rough, perhaps, but filled / With wool and down: ah, you should see / The cosey nest that it would be.
