  “An ear of corn, a grain of rice, Banquet rich for simple mice; A leaf his bed, a hole his house, Who could hurt a harmless mouse? “Grasshopper, so green and gay, See him as he bounds away! Without bridle, spur, or stirrup, Oh! what music in that chirrup! “Mosquito humming merrily, Glads us all most cheerily; Admire his transparent wing, But as you look, avoid his sting. CHORUS.“Squeak! squeak! beware the owl’s beak, Our hearts, like our voices, are so very weak.” |
