   It will swallow all who come
   or go
   and not a grain up will
   it throw
   A grave.

   I went up the hill of wonder
   I came down the hill of thunder
   I saw twenty four blackbirds tearing the hill asunder
   A harrow

   Inside to your house I come
   many a time
   and high on the shoulders
   of men I climb,
   and when I come out
   just over your head,
   I am as thin as a line of
   silken thread
   Smoke

   What goes in the dry and comes out wet
   Tea
