arry him to his grave.

Behold the noble Kite,
About to take his flight.

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

Here's the Linnet with the light,
Although it is not night.

[Illustration]

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

Here's the pretty Dove,
That mourns for her love.

[Illustration]

Who'll bear the pall?
We, say the Wrens,
Both the cock and the hen,
And we'll bear the pall.

Here are the Wrens so small,
Who bore Cock Robin's pall.

[Illustration]

Who'll sing a psalm?
I, said the Thrush,
As he sat in the bush;
And I'll sing a psalm.

Here's a fine Thrush,
Singing psalms in a bush.

[Illustration]

Who'll toll the bell?
I, said the Bull,
Because I can pull;
So Cock Robin, farewell.

Here is the Bull,
Who said he could pull.

All the birds in the air
Fell to sighing and sobbing,
When they heard the bell toll
For poor Cock Robin.
