Cottage Amongst Trees

These Birds though strong of Wing to roam,

In Shades and rural Scenery blest,

Nor Storm nor art can drive from Home,

And from the dear accustom’d Nest.

Such be your wiser Choice, and soon

May you select a Mate, to share

With you kind Heav’n’s immediate Boon,

Parental Bliss, parental Care.
