The Song of the Cardinal 1915

There are other sounds, now that the shrill cry of the hyla is stilled -- the cawing of crows beyond the wood, the scratching of a beetle in the crisp leaves, the cheep of a prying chickadee, the tiny chirrup of a cricket in the grass -- remnants of sounds from the summer, and echoes as of single strings left vibrating after the concert is over and the empty hall is closed.

(I suspect there is a species of little frog -- Pickering's hyla [footnote: A frequent piper in the woods throughout the summer and early fall.] -- that also pipes occasionally in the woods.)
