THE FIELDFARE. When wildly wave the poplar tope, And scattered leaves the greensward mottle, A worn invader seeks the copse. She lights beneath a stunted bush, And seems, to hasty eyes, a thrnsb, But lacks the ilusic of his throttle. From freezing fiords has lain her way, Where pines adorn some rock Norwegian There stands her home where skies are gray. But now she seeks the English fields, Where short November herbage yields A refuge from that stormy region. From year to year, when winter's breath Enshrouds the hills in misty sadness, She flees as from the stroke of death Yet evermore, from year to year, As soon as earliest buds appear, She seeks her mother-land with gladness. Nor egg nor nursling will she leave Within these hateful, strange dominions, .But hastes her homestead to retrieve. Would Heaven that every human breast With such unfailing truth were blest As gilds the fieldfare's faithful pinions Chambers's Journal.
