All along the backwater,
Through the rushes tall,
Ducks are a-dabbling,
Up tails all!
Ducks’ tails, drakes’ tails,
Yellow feet a-quiver,
Yellow bills all out of sight
Busy in the river.
Every one for what he likes!
We’ d like to be
Heads down, tails up,
Dabbling free.
High in the blue above,
Swifts whirl and call —
We are down a-dabbling,
Up tails all!
