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! Slushy green undergrowth Where the roach swim Here we keep our larder, Cool and full and dim. Every one for what he likes! We like to be Head down, tails up, Dabbling free! High in the blue above Swifts whirl and call We are down a-dabbling Up tails all! by Kenneth Grahame
