Pirate [1] Story

Three of us afloat [2] in the meadow [3] by the swing,

Three of us aboard in the basket on the lea [4] .

Winds are in the air, they are blowing in the spring,

And waves are on the meadows like the waves

there are at sea.

Where shall we adventure, to-day that we're afloat,

Wary of the weather and steering [5] by a star?

Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat,

To Providence [6] , or Babylon [7] , or off to Malabar [8] ?

Hi! But there's a squadron [9] a-rowing on the sea —

Cattle on the meadow a-charging with a roar!

Quick, and we'll escape them, they're as mad as they can be.

The wicket [10] is the harbour and the garden is the shore.
