For the squirrel has enough
In his hollow tree.]

XI.--THE SPARROWS.

"Little brown sparrows,
Flying around,
Up in the tree-tops,
Down on the ground,

"Come to my window,
Dear sparrows, come!
See! I will give you
Many a crumb.

"Here is some water,
Sparkling and clear;
Come, little sparrows,
Drink without fear.

"If you are tired,
Here is a nest;
Wouldn't you like to
Come here to rest?"

All the brown sparrows
Flutter away,
Chirping and singing,
"We cannot stay;

"For in the tree-tops,
'Mong the gray boughs,
There is the sparrows'
Snug little house."

Here is the beehive. Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Soon they come creeping out of the hive--
One!--two!--three! four! five!
