Little Robin Redbreast

Illustration

Little Robin Redbreast
  Sat upon a tree,
Up went the Pussy-Cat,
  And down went he;
Down came Pussy-Cat,
  Away Robin ran,
Says little Robin Redbreast—
  Catch me if you can.

  Little Robin Redbreast jumped upon a spade,
  Pussy-Cat jumped after him, and then he was afraid.
Little Robin chirped and sung, and what did pussy say?
Pussy-Cat said Mew, mew mew,—and Robin flew away.
