Little Robin Redbreast

Little robin redbreast,
From where do you come?
At my every trial and test
you always show your handsome chest.
And leap and bound to my delight,
Of the littlest creatures you are the best.

Little robin redbreast,
From where comes that worm in your beak?
Are you taking it to your nest?
You always show such kindness. Zest
to help the poor, lowly, meek and mild.
Of the littlest creatures you are the best.

Little robin redbreast,
Of all Old England's great and good,
You certainly are most blessed.
When blood-red sun sinks, in the West
God will send you back again.
Of the littlest creatures you are the best.
