Birds Poem by Sarah Josepha Buell Hale

Birds



If ever I see,
On bush or tree,
Young birds in a pretty nest,
I must not, in my play,
Steal the birds away,
To grieve their mother's breast.

My mother I know,
Would sorrow so,
Should I be stolen away-
So I'll speak to the birds,
In my softest words,
Nor hurt them in my play.
