第30章 LOST-THREE LITTLE BIRDIES

1.Oh,where is the boy,in his jacket of gray,Who climbed up a tree in the garden to-day,And carried my three little birdiesThey hardly were dressed When he took from the nestMy three little robins,my dearest and best.

2.O butterfly!stop for a moment,I pray-Have you seen a boy in a jacket of gray,Who carried my three little birdies away?

He had such pretty eyes,And was so small in size,That he cannot be wicked-just not very wise.

3.O boy,little boy,in your jacket of gray!

If you will bring back my three robins to-day,I‘ll try to forget that you took them away:

I’ll sing all day long My merriest song,And I will forgive you this very great wrong.
