The king was in his counting-house,
       Counting out his money;
   The queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey.
       The maid was in the garden,   
       Hanging out the clothes;
       When down came a blackbird
   And snapped off her nose.
第六首：Who killed Cock Robin?
       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 his 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 person?     
       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 *** 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,     
     So Cock Robin, farewell.     
       All the birds of the air      
   Fell a-sighing and a-sobbing,    
       When they heard the bell toll     
       For poor Cock Robin.      `
