TIRLYWIRLY.
Tirlywirly, all alone,
Spinning under a yew;
Something came with no noise,
But Tirlywirly knew.
Spinning under a yew;
Something came with no noise,
But Tirlywirly knew.
Tirlywirly state spinning,
Never looked around;
Something made a black shadow
Creep on the ground.
Never looked around;
Something made a black shadow
Creep on the ground.
Tirlywirly sate spinning,
Spinning fast for fear;
Something spoke a dark word
Close at her ear.
Spinning fast for fear;
Something spoke a dark word
Close at her ear.
Tirlywirly sang a song,
Loud, and clear, and gay;
Then, when Tirlywirly sang,
Something fled away.
Loud, and clear, and gay;
Then, when Tirlywirly sang,
Something fled away.
