Old Familiar ...

Today I spotted this brave old familiar from behind my window. The window has double glass. But it was my only chance today to make another blip.

I had to take the double glazing for granted. So I know it's not point sharp ... The robin reminds me of an old Dutch song which I'll try to translate (and yes, the rhyme is gone)

Robin taps at the window, tin, tin, tin
let me in, let me in
It's here too bleak and too cold for my taste
let me in, tin, tin, tin
 
The girl opened the door and gave from her lap
crumbs of sugar and crumbs of bread
that was to the liking of the robin
and flew into the forest again


I found the old text as I know it with the music in a 40 sec video on YouTube.
