ROBERT OF LINCOLN.
Merrily swinging on briar and weed, Near to the nest of his little dame,Over the mountain-side or mead, Robert of Lincoln is telling his name: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink;Snug and safe is that nest of ours,Hidden among the summer flowers. Chee, chee, chee.
Robert of Lincoln is gaily drost, Wearing a bright black wedding coat;White are his shoulders and white his crest, Hear him call in his merry note:
