Feed the kittens in the kitchen | |
Set food out for the strays | |
Try hard to do your best | |
The magpie will have his way | |
Fill your mouth with berries | |
By the full light of the moon | |
Work all night if you have to | |
The magpie comes at noon | |
Shore up the crucifixes | |
Above the archways and the doors | |
The magpie will come at midday | |
And you will go down on all fours | |
And when the cherries white with blossoms | |
Be ready and be brave | |
And remember what we had here | |
When there was something left to save |
