THE MOCKING-BIRD [IN A GARDEN] by EDNAH PROCTOR CLARKE HAYES

First Line: LISTEN TO THAT BIRD! HIS SONG - WHAT POET PENS IT?
Last Line: POURS THE WHOLE FOREST FROM ONE TINY THROAT!
Subject(s): GARDENS & GARDENING; MOCKINGBIRDS;

LIST to that bird! His song -- what poet pens it?
Brigand of birds, he's stolen every note!
Prince though of thieves -- hark! how the rascal spends it!
Pours the whole forest from one tiny throat!
