By Minnie Rodgers.
- Sweet birds
- Pretty birds
- Made by God above,
- Gentle birds
- Mild birds
- Made that we should love.
- Sweet songs
- Pretty songs
- Are wafted thro' the air,
- From little birds
- Pure birds,
- Resting over there.
- Harm them not
- Touch them not
- They were made by the God of love,
- So listen now
- Hearken now
- As their notes ascend to him above.
