The robin redbreast and the goldfinch come out in brighter colors than any other beaux and belles of the season here; but the latter is only a slender-waisted brunette, and the former a plump, strutting, little coxcomb, in a mahogany-colored waistcoat. There is nothing here approaching in vivid colors the New England yellow-bird, hang-bird, red-bird, indigo-bird, or even the bluebird.
"There are notes of joy from the hang-bird and wren, And the gossip of swallows through all the sky;" so does Tennyson when he makes his swallow "Cheep and twitter twenty million loves;" also Lowell again in this line: "The thin-winged swallow skating on the air;" and Virgil: "Swallows twitter on the chimney tops."
Every year of his life has he seen the beautiful Hang-Bird weave his pensile habitation upon the long and flexible branches of the Elm, secure from the reach of every living creature.
