Lesson:

1. Glad to see you, little bird;


'Twas your little chirp I heard:


What did you intend to say?


'Give me something this cold day?'





2. That I will, and plenty, too;


All the crumbs I saved for you.


Don't be frightened--here's a treat:


I will wait and see you eat.





3. Shocking tales I hear of you;


Chirp, and tell me, are they true?


Robbing all the summer long;


Don't you think it very wrong?





4. Thomas says you steal his wheat;


John complains, his plums you eat--


Choose the ripest for your share,


Never asking if it's fair.





5. But I will not try to know


What you did so long ago:


There's your breakfast, eat away;


Come to see me every day.
