| | I THE ROBIN is out in a speckled vest | |
| And his day is a day in June. | |
| Oh, what cares he for the old dead nest?— | |
| October will give him a new red breast | |
| And April the old, old tune. | 5 |
| |
II O road, road, whither will you take me? | |
| What is ’round the bend? | |
| Will you make me or break me? | |
| And will the day forsake me | |
| Before I reach the end? | 10 |
| |
| O road, road, whither are you flowing | |
| So far, so far, so far? | |
| Is any knowing where you are going— | |
| Through woods and up the hills to where is showing | |
| On the world’s edge a star? | 15 | | | |
