(_Mother sings._)
Of all the birds, dear robin,
’Tis you are loved the best,
Because you have, sweet robin,
A warm heart in your breast.—_O, hark!_
(_Children sing robin refrain._)
[Illustration: THE NIMBLE PENNIES.
Draw a small circle (around a small cent), and a large circle below and
behind it (around a large copper cent, or two-cent piece, or silver
quarter), as in the first two designs. Add eyes, mouth, legs and feet, as
in the other designs, and a fat frog will smile up at you.]

I’s a-runnin’ away,
I is, I is;
I’s a-goin’ to stay,
I is, I is,
Wiv my gamma all day,
I is, I is!
