TO A BIRD, by                    
First Line: O bird that darts now low, now high
Last Line: But never can be wise as you!
Subject(s): Birds; May (month); Wisdom


O BIRD that darts now low, now high,
You know the streets across the sky;
You know where leafy lanes lie deep
And quiet nooks to go to sleep;
You know the place to build a nest,
What twigs to use, what shape is best;
I wonder how you found things out
That scholars never know about;
I've studied large books through and through,
But never can be wise as you!
