(_Mother sings._)
These pretty, singing red-breasts
Are trustful little dears;
They come and build their dwellings
By ours, and feel no fears.—_O, hark!_
(_Children sing robin refrain._)
[Illustration: NEST WEAVING.—Children, while marching, press the tips of
the eight fingers together, then separate them with a downward circular
movement, and bring them together again. The action is then reversed and
repeated.]
[Illustration: March with hops, stops, sudden starts and runs and
tippings of the head.
Child leaves other robins with soaring lift of arms; then drooping
hovering movements of hands.
