Gáy Róbin is seen no more:

He is gone with the snow,

For winter is o’er

And Robin will go.

In need he was fed, and now he is fled

Away to his secret nest.

No more will he stand

Begging for crumbs,

No longer he comes

Beseeching our hand

And showing his breast

At window and door:—

Gay Robin is seen no more.

Blithe Robin is heard no more:He gave us his songWhen summer was o’erAnd winter was long:He sang for his bread and now he is fledAway to his secret nest.And there in the greenEarly and lateAlone to his mateHe pipeth unseenAnd swelleth his breast;For us it is o’er:—Blithe Robin is heard no more.

Blithe Robin is heard no more:

He gave us his song

When summer was o’er

And winter was long:

He sang for his bread and now he is fled

Away to his secret nest.

And there in the green

Early and late

Alone to his mate

He pipeth unseen

And swelleth his breast;

For us it is o’er:—

Blithe Robin is heard no more.
