DON'T ROB THE BIRDS, BOYS.
Don't rob the birds of their eggs, boys,
'Tis cruel and heartless and wrong;
And remember, by breaking an egg, boys,
We may lose a bird with a song.
When careworn, weary, and lonely,
Some day as you're passing along,
You'll rejoice that the egg wasn't broken
That gave you the bird with its song.
ANON.
