The Robin ~ trijan refrain

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.

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.
