We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering by lone sea-breakers
Sitting by desolate streams
World-losers and world-forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems

The high springs of alder on thy shield;

🌿🌺🌿Cuckoo lore...
"In April, come he will,
In May, he sings all day,
In June, he changes his tune,
In July, he prepares to fly,
In August, go he must."

I pluck thee off the tree.
The first young man that I do meet,
My lover he shall be!"

A warning about the Witch of Burwell survives in this rhyme:
'A wicked old crone
Who lived all alone
In a hut beside the reeds,
With a high-crowned hat
And a black tom-cat,
Whose looks were as black as her deeds!'
