The Secret

...
.
We have a secret, just we three,
The robin & I & the sweet cherry tree;

The bird told the tree & the tree told me;
And nobody knows it but just us three.

But of course, the robin knows it best,
Because he built the ____ I can't tell the rest;

And laid the four little - something in it -
I'm afraid, I shall tell it, every minute!

But if the tree & robin don't peep,
I will try my best the secret to keep;

Though I know when the little birds fly about,
Then the whole secret will be out.
