Little Birdie

What does little birdie say

In her nest at peep of day?

"Let me fly," says little birdie,

"Mother, let me fly away."

"Birdie, rest a little longer,

Till the little wings are stronger."

So she rests a little longer,

Then she flies away.

What does little baby say

In her bed at peep of day?

Baby says, like little birdie,

"Let me rise, and fly away."
