Why the Robin's Breast is red?
Did you ever hear the story
Why the robin's breast is red?
It happened, O so long ago
On Christmas Eve, 'tis said.
He fanned the tiny candlelight
To keep the Christ Child warm,
In that stable scene in Bethlehem
The night that Christ was born.
He got so close to that small light
In his eagerness, 'tis said,
He scorched his breast and ever since
The robin's breast is red. Viola B Gleeson.
