| Re: Old Sayings,Anecdotes,Related to Wildlife Here is an old song about the Cuckoo. It is written in the Dartmoor Dialect so I will try to retype it correctly.
The gugu es a purty bird.
Er zingeth as er vlieth;
Er bring'th gude tidins,
Er tell'th naw lies;
Er zucketh swate vlowers
Tu kaype er voice clear,
An' whan er zingeth gugu
The zummer draeth near.
Hope you can understand that. |
