The
Sparrow’s Nest
BEHOLD,
within the leafy shade,
Those
bright blue eggs together laid!
On
me the chance-discovered sight
Gleamed
like a vision of delight.
I
started--seeming to espy
The
home and sheltered bed,
The
Sparrow's dwelling, which, hard by
My
Father's house, in wet and dry
My
sister Emmeline and I
Together
visited.
She
looked at it and seemed to fear it;
Dreading,
tho' wishing, to be near it:
Such
heart was in her, being then
A
little Prattler among men.
The
Blessing of my later years
Was
with me when a boy:
She
gave me eyes, she gave me ears;
And
humble cares, and delicate fears;
A
heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
And
love, and thought, and joy.
