a fable - norman dello joio lyrics
Loading...
the mouse that gnawed the oak*tree down
began his task in early life
he kept so busy with his t**th
he had no time to take a wife
he gnawed and gnawed through sun and rain
when the ambitious fit was on
then rested in the sawdust till
a month of idleness had gone
he did not move about to hunt
the coteries of mousie*men
he was a snail*paced, stupid thing
until he cared to gnaw again
the mouse that gnawed the oak*tree down
when that tough foe was at his feet **
found in thе stump no angel*cake
nor b*tterеd bread, nor cheese nor meat **
the forest roof let in the sky
“this light is worth the work” said he
“i’ll make this ancient swamp more light.”
and started on another tree
