God made little robin

1 God made little Robin,
In the days of Spring.
"Please," said little Robin,
"When am I to sing?"

2 God then spoke to Robin:
"You must sing always,
But your sweetest carol
Keep for wintry days!"

3 God heard Robin singing
Such a welcome song,
"Cheer up, little children!
Summer won't be long!"

4 God loves all the children,
And it makes him glad
If they sing like robin
When the days are sad.
