text_original: On the cross beam under the Old South bell The nest of a pigeon is builded well. B I li (88) In summer and winter that bird is there, Out and in with the morning air : I love to see him track the street, Witli his wary eye and active feet ; And 1 often watch him as he springs. Circling the steeple with easy wings.
