- Ferocious -I said.I killed.I said.I saw.
-
- Who killed Cock Robin?
- I, said the Sparrow,
- with my bow and arrow,
- I killed Cock Robin.
- Who saw him die?
- I, said the Fly,
- with my little eye,
- I saw him die.
- Who caught his blood?
- I, said the Fish,
- with my little dish,
- I caught his blood.
- Who'll make the shroud?
- I, said the Beetle,
- with my thread and needle,
- I'll make the shroud.
- Who'll dig his grave?
- I, said the Owl,
- with my pick and shovel,
- I'll dig his grave.
- Who'll be the parson?
- I, said the Rook,
- with my little book,
- I'll be the parson.
- Who'll be the clerk?
- I, said the Lark,
- if it's not in the dark,
- I'll be the clerk.
- Who'll carry the link?
- I, said the Linnet,
- I'll fetch it in a minute,
- I'll carry the link.
- Who'll be chief mourner?
- I, said the Dove,
- I mourn for my love,
- I'll be chief mourner.
- Who'll carry the coffin?
- I, said the Kite,
- if it's not through the night,
- I'll carry the coffin.
- Who'll bear the pall?
- We, said the Wren,
- both the cock and the hen,
- We'll bear the pall.
- Who'll sing a psalm?
- I, said the Thrush,
- as she sat on a bush,
- I'll sing a psalm.
- Who'll toll the bell?
- I said the Bull,
- because I can pull,
- I'll toll the bell.
- All the birds of the air
- fell a-sighing and a-sobbing,
- when they heard the bell toll
- for poor Cock Robin.
