Who'll carry the link?
I, said the Linnet,
I'll fetch it in a minute,
I'll carry the link.

Who'll toll the bell?
I, said the Bull,
Because I can pull,
I'll toll the bell.

All the birds in the air
Fell to sighing and sobbing
When they heard the bell
For poor Cock Robin.


[Illustration]

While the cruel Cock Sparrow,
The cause of their grief,
Was hung on a gibbet
Next day, like a thief.
