The Firetail Tells The Boys When Nests Are Nigh And Tweets And Flies From Every Passer-Bye. The Yellowhammer Never Makes A Noise But Flies In Silence From The Noisy Boys; The Boys Will Come And Take Them Every Day, And Still She Lays As None Were Ta'En Away. The Nightingale Keeps Tweeting-Churring Round But Leaves In Silence When The Nest Is Found. The Pewit Hollos "Chewrit" As She Flies And Flops About The Shepherd Where He Lies; But When Her Nest Is Found She Stops Her Song And Cocks [Her] Coppled Crown And Runs Along. Wrens Cock Their Tails And Chitter Loud And Play, And Robins Hollo "Tut" And Fly Away.
