First Line: Hark -- hark -- from out the thickest fog
Last Line: He whistles in his ear.
Subject(s): Birds
Hark -- hark -- from out the thickest fog
Warbles with might and main
The fearless shrike, as all agog
To find in fog his gain.
His steady sail he never furls
At any time o' year,
And perched now on winter's curls,
He whistles in his ear.
