 This is the ROOM where the Maiden slept, 
 Through the window of which the poor

 Of the Woodman's cot, in a shady nook, 
 On the side of a hill, by a rippling' brook, 
 The home of the Maiden with beauty and 
 
 grace, 
 Who tripped along gaily with joy in her 
 
 face, 
 To meet the poor Woodman from labor 
 
 returning, 
 With his axe in his hand, and faggote for

 Made a pounce at the Cat with lantern

THE SAD FATE OF POOR ROBIN. 
 
 My tale is told. But what be- 
 
 came 
 
 Of Dickey? You will ask. 
 To answer this, my little friends, 
 Will be no pleasing task. 
 
 When to her Room 
 
 The Maiden came, 
 Poor Dickey there she saw, 
 With outstretched wing, 
 
 r 
 
 The little thing 
 Lay dead upon the floor.
