Paragraph Lyric
What the thrush toils at
The partridge asks for
The hapless one takes
The troubled one steals
Puts upon a spade
Sets on a runner
Hides under a door
Shields with a bath-whisk

The farmer hammers
And tempers his spears
Marries off his sons
Hands out his daughters
In boots clogged with clay
In fancy mittens

The sea-swell rumbles
And the wind it blows
And the king hears it
From five miles away
From six directions
From seven backwoods
From eight heaths away.
What the thrush toils at    The partridge asks for    The hapless one takes    The troubled one steals    Puts upon a spade    Sets on a runner    Hides under a door    Shields with a bath-whisk       The farmer hammers    And tempers his spears    Marries off his sons    Hands out his daughters    In boots clogged with clay    In fancy mittens       The sea-swell rumbles    And the wind it blows    And the king hears it    From five miles away    From six directions    From seven backwoods    From eight heaths away.
