The Wren

The little Wren of tender mind,
To every other bird is kind;
It ne'er to mischief bends its will,
But sings and is good-humoured still.
Whoe'er has mixed in childish play
Must sure have heard the children say,
‘The Robin and the Jenny Wren
Are God Almighty's cock and hen.’
Hence 'tis from all respect they meet,
Hence all in kindly manner treat;
For none would use with disrespect,
Whom Heaven thinks proper to protect.
