Songtexte Winter Words, Op. 52: Wagtail and Baby 'A Satire' - Benjamin Britten , Sir Peter Pears
A
baby
watched
a
ford
where
two
A
wagtail
came
a-rinking
A
blaring
bull
went
wading
through
The
wagtail
showed
no
shrinking
A
stallion
splashed
his
way
across
A
birdie
nearly
sinking
He
gave
his
plumes
a
twitch
and
toss
And
held
his
own,
unblinking
Next
saw
the
baby
round
the
spot
A
mongrel
slowly
slinking
The
wagtail
gazed,
but
faltered
not
In
dip
and
sip
and
prinking
A
perfect
gentleman
then
neared
The
wagtail
in
a
winking
with
terror
rose
and
disappeared
The
baby
fell
a-thinking
