The Mocking-Bird

Title:     The Mocking-Bird
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Br'er mockin'-bird sings in de live-oak shade,
A secon'-hand chant or a serenade;
He'll take off a pa'tridge, a robin, or a jay,
But he'd nuver make a name no other way.
But he ain't by 'isself in dat, in dat--
But he ain't by 'isself in dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Mocking-Bird
