A timid lady-bird to our bird-bath
And eyed her image dolefully as death;”

“On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
Sang Willow, titwillow, titwillow!
And I said to him, Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing, Willow, titwillow, titwillow?
Is it a weakness of intellect, birdie? I cried,
Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“The owl is abroad, the bat and the toad,
And so is the cat-a-mountain;
The ant and the mole sit both in a hole,
And frog peeps out o the fountain.”
