rudyard kipling - the egg shell - sandi toksvig lyrics

Loading...

the wind took off with the sunset—
the fog came up with the tide
when the witch of the north took an egg*sh*ll
with a little blue devil inside
“sink,” she said, “or swim,” she said
“it’s all you will get from me
and that is the finish of him!” she said
and the egg*sh*ll went to sea

the wind fell dead with the midnight—
the fog shut down like a sheet
when the witch of the north heard the egg*sh*ll
feeling by hand for a fleet
“get!” she said, “or you’re gone,” she said
but the little blue devil said “no!”
“the sights are just coming on,” he said
and he let the whitehead go

the wind got up with the morning—
the fog blew off with the rain
when the witch of the north saw the egg*sh*ll
and the little blue devil again
“did you swim?” she said. “did you sink?” she said
and the little blue devil replied:
“for myself i swam, but i think,” he said
“there’s somebody sinking outside.”
