An illustration from Cradle songs, 1882, leaf 87
BIRDS IN WINTER. Come now, little birds, You must stop in your play,The snows coming down, You must hide you away. You must huddle togetherAnd keep yourselves warm, In snug nooks and cornersShut out from the storm. Be patient and wait,The clouds will go by, And sunshine once moreWill brighten the… … In the woods and the fields Where summer-plants grew, The buds and the seeds Are stored up for you. You can seek them forfoodWhen the weather isfair, And chirp your sweet son°*sIn the clear pleasant air.
