THE STORY

=Death and Burial of Cock Robin=.
Who kill'd Cock robin?
I, said the Sparrow,
With my bow and arrow,
I kill'd Cock Robin.

Who saw him die?
I, said the Fly,
With my little eye,
I saw him die.
[Illustration]
Who caught his blood?
I, said the Fish,
With my little dish,
I caught his blood.
[Illustration]
Who'll make his shroud?
I, said the Beetle,
With my little needle,
I'll make his shroud.
[Illustration]
Who'll dig his grave?
I, said the Owl,
With my spade and showl,
I'll dig his grave.
[Illustration]
Who'll be the parson?
I, said the Rook,
With my little book,
I'll be the parson.
[Illustration]
Who'll be the clerk?
I, said the Lark,
If it's not in the dark,
I'll be the clerk.
[Illustration]
Who'll carry him to the grave?
I, said the Kite,
If it's not in the night,
I'll carry him to the grave.

Who'll carry the link?
I, said the Linnet,
I'll fetch it in a minute,
I'll carry the link.

Who'll be chief mourner?
I, said the Dove,
For I mourn for my love,
I'll be chief mourner.

Who'll sing a psalm?
I, said the Thrush,
As I sit in a bush,
I'll sing a psalm.
[Illustration]
Who'll toll the bell?
I, said the Bull,
Because I can pull,
So, Cock Robin, farewell.
_All the birds of the air
Fell a sighing and sobbing,
When they heard the bell toll
For poor Cock Robin._
