Dingle! Dongle! Through the forest,
What disturbs the silent air?
All the swaying bluebells ringing,
Wild alarm and terror bringing,
Hear the news fly everywhere!
Dingle! Dongle! What has happened?
Mouse and Rabbit whisper low,
»Who invades the beasties’ clearing?
Is it news we’ve all been fearing?
Surely Mole or Frog will know!«
|

Smiling, sliding through the forest,
Wicked beast from fangs to tail,
Old King Serpent, nothing fearing,
Fighting, killing, through the clearing,
Laughs to hear the wee folk wail.
Near the swamp, among the lilies,
Old Frog watching from a stump,
Spies King Serpent crawling proudly,
And to his two sons calls loudly,
»Don’t get caught, but jump, lads!
Spies King Serpent crawling proudly,Jump!«
