Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 28
Send the doves, that love not rain,Trooping to their cote again;But the sparrows chatter moreWhen you beat upon their door. Steal into the robins nest,Make the nestlings seek her breast;Make the chickens run and hideNeath the mother-wings so wide.
