It wades, it stands still, it's very clever. White heron patiently wait, wait and wait, Till a fish darted by, reflection on the river.
****** its bullet head it's time to deliver. Beaks sharp as spears strikes accurate, It wades, it stands still, it's very clever.
None disturbed nature stays as it were, No news of any fish that the heron ate, Till a fish darted by, reflection on the river.
They flock in by the thousands I wonder, No reduction in fish they don't annihilate. It wades, it stands still, it's very clever;
It takes what flowing water has to offer. Teeming with migrants to each their fate, Till a fish darted by, reflection on the river.
To its chicks it'll provide it'll ensure, By the banks spear fishing till it's late. It wades, it stands still, it's very clever, Till a fish darted by, reflection on the river.
