What melons icy-cold
Tender Lizzie could not bear
Close beleaguered by a fleet
Too huge for me to hold,
Cast down headlong in the sea,
But not one goblin skurried after,
Bowed in the morning winds so brisk to pass,
Them with a tighter clasp?
Lumbering owls forbore to fly,
Not a bat flapped to and fro
What melons icy-cold
Tender Lizzie could not bear
Close beleaguered by a fleet
Too huge for me to hold,
Cast down headlong in the sea,
But not one goblin skurried after,
Bowed in the morning winds so brisk to pass,
Them with a tighter clasp?
Lumbering owls forbore to fly,
Not a bat flapped to and fro
