Follow the river and cross the ford, / Follow again to the wobbly bridge, / Turn to the left at the notice board, / Climbing the cow-track over the ridge; / Tip-toe soft by the little red house, / Hold your breath if they touch the latch, / Creep to the slip-rails, still as a mouse, / Then. run like mad for the bracken patch.
Worm your way where the fern fronds tall / Fashion a lace-work over your head, / Hemming you in with a high, green wall; / Then, when the thrush calls once, stop dead.
