"Welcome, welcome, little stranger" (4/272)

TO THE FIRST ROBIN

by: Louisa May Alcott ,1889

ELCOME, welcome, little stranger,

Fear no harm, and fear no danger;

We are glad to see you here,

For you sing "Sweet Spring is near."

 

Now the white snow melts away;

Now the flowers blossom gay:

Come dear bird and build your nest,

For we love our robin best.
