The Feathered Patriot

 The Feathered Patriot
by Daisy M. Moore


"Tcheer! Tcheer! Tcheer!"
I heard a warble clear;
How came a bird to know
That July Fourth is here?

"Tcheer! Tcheer! Tcheer!"
The warbler nearer drew,
And peering through the leaves
I saw his coat of blue.

I caught full sight of him
Before he flew away,
And knew just why he cheered
On Independence Day!

Of course, each one of you
Is wondering how I knew-
His lovely feather clothes
Were red and white and blue!
