O POOR LITTLE ROBIN.
[[Listen]]
O, poor little robin, so cold and so wet,
Say, what are you doing to-day?
The winter is coming, then what will you eat?
And where are you going to stay?
Your nest is so open, so cold and so poor,
You never can live there again;
O come, pretty robin, come into our door,
We'll shelter you from the cold rain.
We've clean beds to sleep in, and water to drink,
And things very nice for your food;
Come, come, pretty robin; O, how can you think
To fly off again in the wood!
The bird will not listen; but children so young,
So hungry, so cold and so wet,
May share in my cottage, and join in my song;
And they shall have something to eat.
