THE PIGEONS (Adapted from the German of Froebel)

Previous

“Curuck! Curuck!” the pigeons come flying,
Flying, fluttering, here and there.
“Welcome! welcome!” let us be crying.
“Come, pretty pigeons, our meal to share.
Have no fear,
Pigeons dear,
Corn and bread we’re throwing,
All for you,
Truly true,
Thus our love we’re showing.”
“Curuck! Curuck!” the pigeons are cooing.
“Thanks, little children, thanks to you!
From the good deed that now you’re doing,
Learn we that children are kind and true.
Free from fear,
See us here!
Each to each we call now,
‘Curuck! coo!
We and you,
Happy are we all now.’”
