196 THE LANGUAGE OF BIRDS. a beautiful arbutus canariensis (strawberry tree) that grew on the lawn near the house. Here he would sing until hunger sent him home, when he instantly returned to his cage, where he would continue the remainder of the day. I observed, that although he would peck the fruit on this beautiful tree, he never seemed actually to eat it, but appeared to prefer the germenout of the blossom. Delightful, airy, skipping thing. To charm by nature taught ; How canst thou thus imprisoned sing. And swell thy downy throat ? Divine would be the poet's lays, BreathM with that melting air With which thy warbling voice repays Thy bounteous feeder's care. Had but those forests Orpheus drew, Closed in their shades a bird Of equal harmony with you. No tree of taste had stirred* |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
