Answer 1

HELLO FRIEND!! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.....

A little bird, with feathers brown,

Sat singing on a tree:

The song was very soft and low,

But sweet as it could be,

along came the queen ,

who heard the birds beautiful voice.

she wanted to trap the  bird,

and keep it all for herself,

and so, that is what she did

every morning she ordered the bird to

sing a melodious song,

the whole court sat there,

waiting for the beautiful bird to sing,

but, it was all silent,

the queen didnt know, what had happened to the bird.

and neither did anyone else.

but, the truth is , it wanted FREEDOM !!

HOPE IT HELPED ☺

Answer 2

Answer:

A little bird, with feathers brown,

Sat singing on a tree;

(I remember it saying, "It's song so very soft and low")

That song was very soft and low,

But sweet as it could be.

And all the people passing by,

Looked up to see the bird,

Whose singing was the sweetest

That ever they had heard.

But all the bright eyes looked in vain,

For birdie was so small;

And with a modest dark brown coat,

He made no show at all.

"Papa, dear," little Gracie said,

"Where can this birdie be?

If I could only sing like that

I'd sit where folks could see."

"I hope my little girl will learn

A lesson from that bird,

And try to do what good she can-

Not to be seen or heard.

"This birdie is content to sit

Unnoticed by the way;

And sweetly sing his Master's praise,

From dawn to close of day.

"So live, my child, to do some good,

Let life be short or long:

Though others may forget your looks

They'll not forget your song."

-George Macdonald
