Babes in the Wood Quotes

“He did not have these pretty babes,
A twelve-month and a daye,
But, for their wealth he did devise
To make them both away.”

“The Babes in the Wood by R. Caldecott at Project Gutenberg”

“No burial these pretty babes
Of any man receives,
Till Robin Redbreast painfully
Did cover them with leaves.
