**“There Came to My Window”**

		1.	There came to my window one morning in spring A sweet little robin, who came there to sing; The song that it sang, it was prettier far, Than any I heard on a flute or guitar.

		2.	She raised her light wings to fly far a way Then resting a moment, seemed sweetly to say: “Happy, how happy, this world seems to be Up, up little girl, and be happy with me.”
