For every Bird a nest - Wherefore in timid quest Some little Wren goes seeking round - Wherefore when boughs are free, Households in every tree, Pilgrim be found?
Perhaps a home too high - Ah aristocracy! The little Wren desires -
Perhaps of twig so fine - Of twine e'en superfine, Her pride aspires -
The Lark is not ashamed To build upon the ground Her modest house -
Yet who of all the throng Dancing around the sun Does so rejoice?
