Or honey—yes, that would be best—oh, best!

But what do you think he found, found, found?

Why, six little eggs all round, round, round,

And a mother-bird on the nest,

Oh, yes!

The mother-bird on her nest.

He laughed, “Ha! ha!” and he laughed, “He! he!”

The boy with the little bare toes.

But the little mother-bird got up from her place

And flew right into his face, ho! ho!
