paroles de chanson Misalliance - Flanders , Swann
The
fragrant
honeysuckle
spirals
clockwise
to
the
sun,
And
many
other
creepers
do
the
same.
But
some
climb
anti-clockwise,
the
bindweed
does,
for
one,
Or
Convolvulus,
to
give
her
proper
name.
Rooted
on
either
side
a
door,
one
of
each
species
grew,
And
raced
towards
the
window-ledge
above.
Each
corkscrewed
to
the
lintel
in
the
only
way
it
knew,
Where
they
stopped,
touched
tendrils,
smiled,
and
fell
in
love.
Said
the
right-handed
honeysuckle
to
the
left-handed
bindweed,
"Oh,
let
us
get
married,
if
our
parents
don't
mind;
We'd
be
loving
and
inseparable,
inextricably
entwined,
We'd
live
happily
ever
after,
" said
the
honeysuckle
to
the
bindweed.
To
the
honeysuckle's
parents
it
came
as
a
shock:
"The
bindweeds,
" they
cried,
"are
inferior
stock!
They're
uncultivated,
of
breeding
bereft,
We
twine
to
the
right
and
they
twine
to
the
left!"
Said
the
anti-clockwise
bindweed
to
the
clockwise
honeysuckle,
"We'd
better
start
saving:
'many
a
mickle
maks
a
muckle'!
Then
run
away
for
a
honeymoon
and
hope
that
our
luck'll
Take
a
turn
for
the
better,
" said
the
bindweed
to
the
honeysuckle.
A
bee
who
was
passing
remarked
to
them
then,
"I've
said
it
before
and
I'll
say
it
again,
Consider
your
offshoots,
if
offshoots
there
be,
They'll
never
receive
any
blessing
from
me!
Poor
little
sucker,
how
will
it
learn,
When
it
is
climbing,
which
way
to
turn?
Right,
left,
what
a
disgrace,
Or
it
may
go
straight
up
and
fall
flat
on
its
face!"
Said
the
right-hand-thread
honeysuckle
to
the
left-hand-thread
bindweed,
"It
seems
that
against
us,
all
fate
has
combined.
Oh
my
darling,
oh
my
darling,
oh
my
darling
Colombine,
Thou
art
lost
and
gone
forever,
we
shall
never
intertwine!"
Together,
they
found
them,
the
very
next
day,
They
had
pulled
up
their
roots
and
just
shrivelled
away.
Deprived
of
that
freedom
for
which
we
must
fight:
To
veer
to
the
left
or
to
veer
to
the
right!
