In his `Birds and Poets' (Boston, 1877), Mr. John Burroughs says that he knows of only two noteworthy poetical tributes to the mocking-bird, those by Whitman and by Wilde, both of which he quotes. But since the appearance of his book many poems have been written to the mocking-bird, several of which are of enduring worth. Indeed, several noteworthy poems had been published before the appearance of Mr. Burroughs's essay, as will appear from the list below. In a search of two days I found thirty-two different authors paying tribute to our marvelous singer: Julia Bacon (see J. W. Davidson's `Living Writers of the South'. New York: Carleton, 1869), St. L. L. Carter (ib.), Edna P. Clarke (`Century', 24. 391, July, 1893), Fortunatus Crosby (`Davidson', l.c.), J. R. Drake (Duyckinck's `Cyclopaedia of American Literature'. New York, 1855), R. T. W.
