Walter de la Mare - The Pigs and the Charcoal-burner

The old Pig said to the little pigs, br 'In the forest is truffles and mast, br Follow me then, all ye little pigs, br Follow me fast!' br br The Charcoal-burner sat in the shade br With his chin oil his thumb, br And saw the big Pig and the little pigs br Chuffling come. br br He watched 'neath a green and giant bough, br And the pigs in the ground br Made a wonderful grisling and gruzzling br And greedy sound. br br And when, full-fed, they were gone, and Night br Walked her starry ways, br He stared with his cheeks in his hands br At his sullen blaze.
