Me whats 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.

The secret is that the robin made the tree. What has me believe so, is because the robin said she knows the secret best. "Because she built the—I shan't tell the rest; And laid the four little—something in it—" and Then say,"Though I know when the little birds fly about Then the whole secret will be out."  You can fly out of a tree!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
