Poems About Birds...

Time To Rise
by Robert Louis Stevenson
A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon the window-sill;
Cocked his shining eye, and said,
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head?"


Seven Little Chicks
by Wilhelmina Seegmuller
Seven little chicks go,
"Peep, peep, peep,"
Hunting where the grasses grow
Deep, deep, deep.

Then the mother hen calls,
"Cluck, cluck, cluck,"
Wishing every little chick
Luck, luck, luck.


Once I Saw a Little Bird
Once I saw a little bird
Come hop, hop, hop.
So I cried, "Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?"

I was going to the window
To say, "How do you do?"
But he shook his little tail,
And far away he flew.


Little Cock-Sparrow
Mother Goose Rhyme
A little cock-sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he chirruped, he chirruped, so merry was he;
A little cock-sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he chirruped, he chirruped, so merry was he.

A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow,
Determined to shoot this little cock-sparrow.
A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow,
Determined to shoot this little cock-sparrow.
"This little cock-sparrow shall make me a stew,
And his giblets shall make me a little pie, too." 
"Oh, no!" said the sparrow, "I wont make a stew.
So he flapped his wings, and away he flew. 


There Was A Little Robin
by Wilhelmina Seegmuller
There was a little robin
Sat singing in a tree;
From early morn till dark he sang -
"The world was made for me."

The Lovable Child


The Lovable Child

Frisky as a lambkin,
Busy as a bee--
That's the kind of little girl
People like to see.
Modest as a violet,
As a rosebud sweet-
That's the kind of little girl
People like to meet.
Bright as is a diamond
Pure as any pearl--
Every one rejoices in 
Such a little girl.
Happy as a robin,
Gentle as a dove--
That's the kind of little girl
Every one will love.
Fly away and seek her, little song of mine,
For I choose that very girl as my Valentine.
