linnet

The linnet chirps her vernal song.

Can never tear the linnet from the leaf.

Any linnet Would laugh at the foolish hope, and see Nothing in it.

This linnet, as near as I can remember, seemed to be somewhat larger than an English swan.

The note of a linnet, the humming of a bee, these are the sounds about my sanctuary.

It seemed as if a linnet had hopped to my foot and proposed to bear me on its tiny wing.

The grass finches, the vireos, the wrens, and the linnets have joined their voices to the chorus, and the bobolinks are loudest in their song.

Here I find the little water ouzel as much at home as any linnet in a leafy grove, seeming to take the greater delight the more boisterous the stream.

He is not web-footed, yet he dives fearlessly into foaming rapids, seeming to take the greater delight the more boisterous the stream, always as cheerful and calm as any linnet in a grove.

It was really only a little linnet singing outside his window, but it was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden that it seemed to him to be the most beautiful music in the world.

Some of the nests are built in trees thirty or forty feet from the ground, and even in garrets, as if seeking the company and protection of man, like swallows and linnets, though accustomed to the wildest solitude.
