Leonard, Julie. [from old catalog] · New York, Hurd and Houghton · leaf 24
Only two doves redeemed her child ;They were her heart-felt offering. No richer, fairer gift had she,So humble was her low estate, And with her spotless birdlings threeShe came unto the temple-gate. She brought the holy Dove of peace,Harbmger of the days bright dawn, The olive-token of release. The… … THE BIRDLING. OME and take a peep,See this little bird.You must softly creep,Else you will be heard.
