THE CANAL BANK
Reading edition
I know a girl, And a girl knows me, And the owl says, what? And the owl says, who? But what we know We both agree That nobody else Shall hear or see, It's all between Herself and me: To wit? said the owl, To woo, said I, To-what, to-wit, to-woo!
BY ANA LIFFEY
If you come to live with me, I will sing so heartily In your honour that you will Stay to wonder at my skill.
In your honour I will fill The world with songs of triumph, till You and I and Time are old Pipers of the Age of Gold.
Time and you and I will hold, Everywhere by field and fold, Concerts of content, and be Known afar for jollity.
Everywhere by fold and field We will wander well-agreed; So I sing right heartily, Come along and live with me.
