"How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail?
And pours the waters of the Nile
O'er ev'ry golden scale
How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!"
Now sing it to
O Little Town of Bethlehem.
And
Saint Patrick's Breastplate.
And
Halifax...And have the bright immensities...?
And for something distinctly offbeat -- to
Lledrod.
But not
Cwm Rhondda. You can force-fit it into
Hyfrydol. But you have to really pound it with a scansion hammer.
It's really much easier to sing it to
British Grenadiers. Which I hadn't seen a hymn text set to, come to that, until today. Cyberhymnal has
this for it -- The Joyful Morn Is Breaking. Hmm.
