To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE SHRIKE WITH eager eye, and half -expanded wings, The Butcher-bird sits watching for its prey, Amid the sunshine of a summer's day, And many a wary glance around he flings.
In mid-air flit and flutter glittering things, Enjoying all life's pleasures while they may, Unconscious that the spoiler lurketh aye Where pleasure sweetly to the charmed ear sings : There is a whirring sound a sudden cry ; The Butcher-bird hath darted from his twig ; A form the less is in the sunny sky, But who shall he...ed its loss ? that moment, big With fate to one, hath passed unmarked of all : So man sinks down, and dies, in life's great carnival.
PRIDEAUX J. SELBY.
362 A TREASURY OF BIRD POEMS THE TYRANT FLYCATCHER BEHOLD him now, his little family flown, Meek, unassuming, silent and alone ; Lured by the well-known hum of favourite bees As slow he hovers o'er the garden trees ; Straight he alights, and from the pear-tree spies The circling stream of humming insects rise ; Selects his prey ; darts on the busy brood, And shrilly twitters over his savoury food.
