Mary and the Robin Redbreast

Mary and the Robin Redbreast
576.4

I saw a little maiden throw
A crumb of bread to feed a robin;
And she was more delighted— so
Delighted! – when he, bowing, bobbing.
Flew with the crumb of bread away,
And “Thank you, Mary!” seemed to say.

And I do think that Mary dear
Was far more happy that, instead
Of eating all her breakfast, thus,
The robin got his crumb of bread;
And to the robin redbreast she
Said, “Thank you for your company!”
