Robin, robin with your chest so red <br />How do you keep the color shade so young and fresh <br />Do you crush berries into your plumage? <br />Or make a dye from the petals of rose and poppies and tulips <br />Oh Robin with your chest so red <br />Tell us your secret my dearest chirpy little friend <br />Well good sir if you must know <br />The little secret secret that Robins keep to their own <br />We take a thorn from a rose <br />And pierce it from our breasts that's not too deep but not too small <br />From there so forth we let a little droplet of our blood pour so <br />And that is how we keep our chest so red my dear good sir<br /><br />Guinevere Eveleigh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-short-little-poem-about-the-robin/
