New Version: Robert of Lincoln

Enjoyed the Brier and weeds, swing
   His small fence near the nests of
Mountain side or Mead,
   Robert Lincoln was saying his name.
         Link o ' Bob Bob o ' link,
         Spink, butt, ass,
Friendliness and safety is our nest
Summer flowers are hidden.
      Cheek, cheek, cheek.

 

Robert Lincoln [William Cullen Bryant]

Merrily swinging on brier and weed,
   Near to the nest of his little dame,
Over the mountain-side or mead,
   Robert of Lincoln is telling his name.
         Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link,
         Spink, spank, spink,
Snug and safe is this nest of ours,
Hidden among the summer flowers.
         Chee, chee, chee.
