What is the name and author of this poem?

Question

I can't find the book that has this poem in it, and I have searched the internet and not been able to find anything. The poem goes;

We have a secret,

Just we three

The robin and I,

And the sweet cherry tree

The bird told the tree

And the tree told me

And nobody knows it

But just we three!

Of course,

The robin knows knows best,

Because he built the -

I shan't tell the rest

And laid the four little -

Something in it

I'm afraid I shall tell it

Every minute!

But if the bird and

The tree don't peep,

I'll do my best

The secret to keep

Though I know when

The little birds fly about

The whole secret

Will be out!

Answer 1

The poem appears in _The Golden Book of Poetry_ (1947) in an alternate text:

The Secret

We have a secret, just we three,

The robin, and I, and the sweet cherry-tree;

The bird told the tree, and the tree told me,

And nobody knows it but just us three.

But of course the robin knows it best,

Because she built the--I shan't tell the rest;

And laid the four little--something in it--

I'm afraid I shall tell it every minute.

But if the tree and the robin don't peep,

I'll try my best the secret to keep;

Though I know when the little birds fly about

Then the whole secret will be out.
