I’ll put some seeds and crumbs of bread
For you upon the chickens’ shed.
“And perhaps you will. I’ll look to see
If you are sitting in the tree;
And if you are, I will not stay,
But leave the crumbs and go away;
You’d think, if I stayed by the rail,
I’d salt to put upon your tail.
“And if you saw the cage I’ve made,
I think you would not be afraid;
