Children's Poems about Birds
I saw a Little Birdie (Traditional nursery rhyme)
I saw a little birdie Coming hop, hop, hop;
So I said: "Little birdie, Will you stop, stop, stop?"
I was going to the window To say: "How do you do?"
But he shook his little tail at me, And far away he flew.
Bird in the Cage (Japanese nursery rhyme)
Bird in the cage, Bird in the cage,
When will you come out and play?
When will you come out to stay?
Late in the evening and closer to dawn,
I will stand behind you early in the morn.
Mary's Canary (Author Unknown)
Mary had a pretty bird, Feathers bright and yellow,
Slender legs -- upon my word, He was a pretty fellow.
The sweetest note he always sung, Which much delighted Mary,
She often, where the cage was hung, Sat hearing her canary.
The North Wind Doth Blow
or The Robin (Traditional 16th Century Folk)
The North Wind doth blow, And we shall have snow,
And what shall the robin do then? Poor thing!
He'll sit in the barn, And keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing, Poor thing!
The North Wind doth blow, And we shall have snow,
And what will the dormouse do then? Poor thing!
Rolled up like a ball, In his nest snug and small,
He'll sleep till warm weather comes in. Poor thing!
The Boy in the Barn
(Traditional nursery rhyme)
A little boy went into the barn,
And lay down on some hay.
An owl came out,
And flew about,
And the little boy ran away.
A Wise Old Owl (Traditional nursery rhyme)
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
