I’m busy shredding carrot for the tortoise this morning, when into my head popped the trout song.
Three verses of the correct words (as far as I remember).
I stood beside a brooklet, that sparkled on its way,
and saw beneath the water, a tiny trout at play,
as swiftly as an arrow, he darted to and fro,
the gayest of the fishes among the reeds below,
the gayest of the fishes among the reeds below.
An angler there was standing, with rod and line in hand,
Intent upon the fishes, a sportive fearless band,
“`tis vain” said I “good fellow, to fish a brooklet clear”
The fish will surely see you upon the bank so near.
The fish will surely see you upon the bank so near.
But skillful was the angler, and artful too,
The crystal brooklet’s depths defying, he hid, the fish from view,
and then before I knew it,
the fishes unheeding took the bait,
and I was left lamenting, my tiny troutlet’s fate,
and I was left lamenting, my tiny troutlet’s fate
Did you sing this at school and if you did, which version did you sing?
