A WARNING by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE ROBIN AND THE REDBREAST
Last Line: "BAD [OR, ILL] LUCK WILL SURELY FOLLOW"
Subject(s): BIRDS;BIRDS' NESTS;
THE robin and the redbreast,
The robin and the wren:
If you take from their nest
You'll never thrive again.

The robin and the redbreast,
the martin and the swallow;
If ye touch one o' their eggs,
Bad luck will surely follow!
