Little Bird With Eager Wing

 

Little Bird With Eager Wing 

By MARY S CONRADE 

1. Little bird with eager wing, Stopping now and then to sing 
Can you in your  chirping way, Teach me some thing new to day?

The little bird sings in his innocent glee,

That we should be grateful and joyous as he.  

2. Busy bee from flow'r to flow'r, You are flying ev'ry hour,

Can you in your humming way, Teach me some thing new today? 

The bee does not trifle her  moments away,

And we should be active  in work or in play.    

3.Gentle breeze a long the grass, Very softly you do pass;

Can you in your rustling way, Tell us some thing new to day?

Just like the pure breezes that  soothe as they go,

May we e'er be ready to soothe others woe.
