Feeds his wife and babies three—
Giving only songs for pay.
Bolder thief than robin is
Would be hard, indeed, to find;
But he sings so sweet a tune
That I really do not mind!
“Cheer up! Cheer up!” Robin sings;
“Cheer up! Cheer up!” all day long;
Shine or shower, all the same,
“Cheer up! Cheer up!” is his song.
