ROBIN.

How do the robins build their nest?

Robin Red Breast told me,

First a wisp of yellow hay

In a pretty round they lay;

Then some shreds of downy floss,

Feathers too, and bits of moss,

Woven with a sweet, sweet song,

This way, that way, and across:

That's what Robin told me.

Where do the robins hide their nest?

Robin Red Breast told me,

Up among the leaves so deep,

Where the sunbeams rarely creep,

Long before the winds are cold,

Long before the leaves are gold

Bright-eyed stars will peep and see

Baby Robins--one, two, three:

That's what Robin told me.
