Lyrics for A Child's Question, July

Hail the hedge as it grows Ask the hedge all it knows Tell me who has licked the twoad? What is hidden 'neath the road? Tell me quick as I was born Whivering like a downy horn. Hail the hedge as it grows Ask the hedge all it knows Who's inneath The Ooser-Rod? Horny devil? Goaty God? What is God in ethly guise? One or mampus giant eyes? Hail the hedge as it grows Ask the hedge all it knows Will the sweven's golden keys Hanging in the aishy trees Open gawly geates to death Who hoards 'es answers in the eth?
