Where is Robin?
Language: English 
Where, oh where is Robin?
Where is Robin now?
He's gone I fear
Untrue, oh dear!
Lonely now
I milk the cow.
Pansies sweetly blow,
Rillets gaily flow,
But Robin's cheery voice no more I hear.
Sheep-bells lightly ring,
Reapers gleeful sing,
But mournful sounds alone now suit my ear.
Uloo.

Where is Robin now?
Love thou didst avow,
Faithless art thou, Robin!
Wooing me soft,
Kissing me oft,
As I was milking the cow.
Linnets mating woo,
Wood-doves pairing coo,
While sad-hearted I to sorrow bow.
Hopeless maid I mourn.
Robin from me torn,
Ah, who'll kiss me now
As I milk the cow.
Uloo.
Where is Robin now?
