Summary: "The Death and Burial of Cock Robin" by Anonymous is a whimsical children’s poem likely created in the late 18th to early 19th century. This book takes the form of a narrative poem that recounts the demise of a fictional character, Cock Robin, and explores themes of community, death, and mourning through a playful cast of animal characters.
