MISTAKEN KINDNESS. Under a spreading thistle leaf, A grass-bird built her neat; And there her little brood she fed,
And warmed them with her breast.
And in and out she softly few,
With scarcely room to pass, So close the prickly covert drooped
Its curtain to the grass.,
A gentle heart, in passing near,
The leafy shelter spied And with a loving, kind intent,
Turned the sharp leaf aside.
It really seemed too rough a thing
To shadow such a neat;
Alas! the wisdom so unwise;
That know not what it did!
The friendly leaves from dripping skies,
The open nest had hid.
And now the cold raín fell anew
The roofless nest around;
The covert from the storm was gone,
The little brood were drowned.
So may our sharp defences be
A proof 'gainst grief and care; A shelter from a fiercer storm,
Or a more fatal snare.
