A Whisper
"Where are my Cheery Chanters?' I said,
"Gone!" said a whisper, " Gone to bed!
Some to a burrow and some to a nest,
Some to a cot or whatever is best:
Some with a rustling, some with a patt'ring, Some with a flutt'ring, some with a chatt'ring;"
And then with a whisper, low, so low,
"Good-night! Good-night! I too must go!"
