THE BLUEBIRD.

A bit of sky

To make a coat;

"Daffydowndilly has come up to town,

In a yellow bonnet and a green gown."

WHAT BIRD AM I?

I am a song bird.

I come in the spring.

Daffydowndilly comes with me.
She has a yellow bonnet

and a green gown.

I have a full, rounded throat.
My throat is full of songs!

My songs are sweet and joyous.
I sing about the spring.

My coat is blue.

It is like a bit of the sky.

There are silver tints

in my tail feathers.

There are silver tints

in my wing feathers, too.

My vest has rosy tints in it.

If all the world were water,

And that were turned to ink,

What SHOULD we do for food to eat?

What SHOULD we do for drink?
