  • Text: And the people all stood lost in wonder; / Some said 'twould hail and snow, / And others swore it meant storm and thunder, / And the streams would overflow / And flood and swamp the town all under. / And to this day, in that town so gay, / They say there is still to be seen / A weather-cock that will not sway, / And a row of people learn / A-wond'ring, a-wond'ring, a-wondring away. / And that is the end of my tale today.
