LITTLE ONES AT HOME. 133

Songs

That all who see her gentle look
And pretty actions too,

Will feel that she’s a darling child—
Kind, honest, loving, true.

These are the things I so much like;
And now, who’ll try to be

Tho meek and modest little girl
Which you before you see?

 

ROBIN REDBREAST’S SECRET.
I’m little Robin Redbreast, sir,
My nest is in the tree ;
If you look up in yonder elm,
My pleasant home you'll see.
We made it very soft and nice—
My pretty mate and I—
And all the time we worked at it,
We sang most merrily.

The green leaves shade our lovely home
From the hot scorching sun ;

So many birds live in the tree,
We do not want for fun.

The light breeze gently rocks our nest,
And hushes us to sleep ;

We’re up betimes to sing our song,

And the first daylight greet.
