<h2>THE DEAD ROBIN.</h2>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i12">See, Charles, how little Robin lies:<br/></span>
<span class="i12">The film is on his gentle eyes;<br/></span>
<span class="i12">His pretty beak is parted wide,<br/></span>
<span class="i12">And blood is flowing from his side.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i12">And Willy, when from school he comes,<br/></span>
<span class="i12">Will run and get some little crumbs,<br/></span>
<span class="i12">And fling them round, and wait to see<br/></span>
<span class="i12">Robin hop lightly from the tree,<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i12">To pick the crumbs up, one by one,<br/></span>
<span class="i12">And sing and chirp, when he has done;—<br/></span>
<span class="i12">Then when I show him Robin dead,<br/></span>
<span class="i12">How many bitter tears he'll shed!<br/></span></div>
