Her modest house --- iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

For Every Bird A Nest
poem by: Emily Dickinson

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

For every Bird a Nest --
Wherefore in timid quest
Some little Wren goes seeking round --

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

Wherefore when boughs are free --
Households in every tree --
Pilgrim be found?

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

Perhaps a home too high --
Ah Aristocracy!
The little Wren desires --

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

Perhaps of twig so fine --
Of twine e'en superfine,
Her pride aspires --

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

The Lark is not ashamed

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

To build upon the ground
Her modest house --

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)

Yet who of all the throng
Dancing around the sun
Does so rejoice?

iti-ni-san (one-two-three)
