Is the story true, Robin,
曾有无家可归的小孩，
You were once so good
在树林里过夜，
To the little orphans
小鸟啊，我听说过，
Sleeping in the wood?
你对他们那样亲切。
Did you see them lying,
见他们小脸苍白，
Pale, and cold, and still,
一动不动躺在地上，
And strew leaves above them
你是否曾经用小嘴
With your little bill?
衔来树叶给他们盖上?
Whether true or not, Robin,
不管这传说的真假，
We are glad to see

How you trust us children,
你带着彻底的信任，
Walking in so free.

Yet he can a lesson To the children teach：
它告诉孩子的道理，却正跟教师一样
Still to trust that blessings Will be richly given,
当我们向天父祈祷,让自己食粮够多;
When they ask their Father For their bread from heaven.
只要播洒出信任，就能把幸福收获
