Bird Trades
The swallow is a mason,And underneath the eavesHe builds a nest, and plasters itWith mud and hay and leaves.Of all the weavers that I know,The oriole is the best;High on the branches of the treeShe hangs her cosy nest.The woodpecker is hard at work—A carpenter is he—And you may hear him hammeringHis nest high up a tree.Some little birds are miners,Some build upon the ground,And busy little tailors, too,Among the birds are found.
