THE MARSH WREN, by                    
First Line: To think that such a tiny thing
Last Line: Unbounded faith in god!
Subject(s): Birds; Wrens


To think that such a tiny thing,
So small a personage,
Should have the hardihood to sing
Where boorish billows rage!

To think that you, undaunted by
The wailing winds a-flee,
Should dare to challenge every sigh
Of aeon-moaning sea!

That you should deign to build your nest
Above a salt marsh sod!
Undying love must fill your breast,
Unbounded faith in God!
