Variant Title(s): The Robin And The Wren (1);a Rule For Birds' Nesters
Subject(s): Birds;birds' Nests
THE robin and the redbreast,
The robin and the wren:
If you take from their nest
You'll never thrive again.
The robin and the redbreast,
the martin and the swallow;
If ye touch one o' their eggs,
Bad luck will surely follow!
