Nursery Rhyme. DXVIII. Natural History.

    When the snow is on the ground,
        Little Robin Red-breast grieves;
    For no berries can be found,
        And on the trees there are no leaves.

    The air is cold, the worms are hid,
        For this poor bird what can be done?
    We'll strew him here some crumbs of bread,
        And then he'll live till the snow is gone.

    Little cock robin peep'd out of his cabin,
    To see the cold winter come in,
            Tit, for tat, what matter for that,
            He'll hide his head under his wing!

        The north wind doth blow,
        And we shall have snow,
    And what will poor Robin do then?
                                            Poor thing!

        He'll sit in a barn,
        And to keep himself warm,
    Will hide his head under his wing.
                                            Poor thing!

    On a hazel twig.
