THE ROBIN.

Oh, yesterday a robin came a-hopping
round my place
And I was at the window with a sad
and gloomy face.
And 1 was feeling peevish and a.
thinking thoughts that come
When a fellows discontinued and
the world is looking glum;
So I watched old Mr.. Robin as he
snagged a worn or two
And skipped around the garden in
= the way that robins do.
His eye was bright and shiny and his
head was in the air,
And if his face was wide enough a
smile had fingered there
The breeze was blowing chilly and the
ground seemed mighty bleak,
But the robin wasn't growing that
the hard spots hurt his beak.
And the robin wasn't kicking that
his little feet were cold,
He was happy to be living as his bits
Of music told.
He was plump and he was clipper.
and thought I while watching
Don't o eve get the notion that
this fight for life Is grim?
Do you aver tell your neiEhbors
while you're sitting in a tree,
That food is not as plentiful as once
it used to be?
Oh, little feathered songster. when
the days are cold and long
Do you ever waste a minute wailing
everything is wrong?
AS I watched old MI. Robin at the
business of his day,
With nobody nea to help him or to
pass the food his way,
To myself l think I muttered: Whats
the matter, now with me?
II a robin can be happy. why should
so. dismal be?
All my troubles are as nothing to
the life he leads out there,
Yet this minute he is singing and
I'm knee deep in despair!"
