BREAKFAST FOR THE ROBINS
Reading edition
When supper is over, The birds fly away, And sing a new song At dawn of the day. These sweet little robins Such lovely notes raise, They seem to be singing Their Creator’s praise. Awake, little Minnie! Come, Ella, arise! The sun is beginning His course in the skies. Your birdies already Are waiting for you To give them their breakfast; Now what will you do? They rouse from their slumbers, Then kneel down to pray;— Thus Minnie and Ella Begin the new day. Before their own breakfast Is ready, they go To see if the robins Are waiting below. And there one dear songster Is sure to be found As soon as his breakfast Is spread on the ground.
