The Robin and The Red-breast
A Warning…
The Robin and The Red-breast
Nursery Rhyme
The robin and the red-breast,
The robin and the wren;
If ye take from their nest,
Ye'll never thrive again!
The robin and the red-breast,
The martin and the swallow;
If ye touch one of their eggs,
Bad luck will surely follow.
