The Robin ~ trijan refrain

[Stella]

I saw him sitting on the gate
a hungry little friend
I knew that he would sit and wait
on me he could depend.
Little robin with his red breast
always a cute and welcome guest
little robin
little robin
I wonder where you hide your nest

November brings a hoary frost
so beautiful and white
yet robin knows to his sad cost
it will be cold tonight.
He comes to me not one bit shy
and knows i will not let him die
he comes to me
he comes to me
for his hunger to satisfy.

A little help although he’s free
is something that he needs
for in the summer ‘neath his tree
there are insects and seeds.
Sweet and lovely i hear him sing
he’s such a precious little thing
sweet and lovely
sweet and lovely
no other bird more joy could bring.

Yes despite all the little robin is so cute one cannot help falling in love with him. Soon he will decorate ur Christmas cards looking a as plump as can be - it's all that food he keeps beein given - lol So enjoyed my read.

This is adorable Stella and I can imagine it being read to school children . The last stanza really did it for me, 'a little help although he's free
is something that he needs for summer 'neath his tree.' I just love birds and you brought this robin beautifully to life for me.
