Description

THE LANGUAGE OF BIRDS. Far from the scenes that erst could please ; Secluded from the winged race ; Canst thou inhale the vernal breeze, Nor wish thy former haunts to trace ? If thou canst hail the god of day, When, dim with mists, he meets thine eye, Will his bright beams less joy convey When blazing in a cloudless sky ? Or from the hour when first in air Kind nature taught thy wing to soar, Hast thou not fled to lands more fair, Or tried a clime unknown before ? Go, silly bird, on pinion free. And seek the verdant bowers of spring ; There fly unchecked from tree to tree. With bosom light, and rapid wing. Had I the power which thou enjoy'st. To roam at will from shore to shore, Soon would I quit this scene of noise.

And tread its cheerless streets no more.

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


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.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
