My dear, do you know,

HNR 436

a
My dear, do you know,
How a long time ago,
Two little chlildren,
Whose names I don't know,
Were stolen away on a fine summer's day,
And left in a wood, as I've heard people say.

b
And when it was night,
So sad was their plight,
The sun it went down,
And the moon gave no light!
They sobbed and they sighed, and they bitterly cried,
And the poor little things, they lay down and died.

c
And when they were dead,
The robin so red
Brought strawberry leaves
And over them spread;
And all the day long,
They sang them this song,
Poor babes in the wood! poor babes in the wood!
And don't youre member the babes in the wood?
