A Burdock clawed my gown lyrics

A Burdock — clawed my Gown —

Not Burdock's — blame —

But mine —

Who went too near

The Burdock's Den —

A Bog — affronts my shoe —

What else have Bogs — to do —

The only Trade they know —

The splashing Men!

Ah, pity — then!

'Tis Minnows can despise!

The Elephant's — calm eyes

Look further on!
