To E M Who drew them in Holzminden Prison	A
	-
I	-
	-
From troubles of the world I turn to ducks	B
Beautiful comical things	C
Sleeping or curled	D
Their heads beneath white wings	C
By water cool	E
Or finding curious things	C
To eat in various mucks	C
Beneath the pool	E
Tails uppermost or waddling	F
Sailor like on the shores	C
Of ponds or paddling	F
Left Right with fanlike feet	G
Which are for steady oars	C
When they white galleys float	H
Each bird a boat	H
Rippling at will the sweet	G
Wide waterway	I
When night is fallen you creep	J
Upstairs but drakes and dillies	C
Nest with pale water stars	C
Moonbeams and shadow bars	C
And water lilies	C
Fearful too much to sleep	J
Since they've no locks	C
To click against the teeth	K
Of weasel and fox	C
And warm beneath	K
Are eggs of cloudy green	L
Whence hungry rats and lean	L
Would stealthily suck	F
New life but for the mien	L
The hold ferocious mien	L
Of the mother duck	F
	-
II	-
	-
Yes ducks are valiant things	C
On nests of twigs and straws	C
And ducks are soothy things	C
And lovely on the lake	F
When that the sunlight draws	C
Thereon their pictures dim	M
In colours cool	E
And when beneath the pool	E
They dabble and when they swim	M
And make their rippling rings	C
ducks are beautiful things	C
But ducks are comical things	C
As comical as you	N
Quack	F
They waddle round they do	N
They eat all sorts of things	C
And then they quack	F
By barn and stable and stack	F
They wander at their will	O
But if you go too near	P
They look at you through black	F
Small topaz tinted eyes	C
And wish you ill	O
Triangular and clear	P
They leave their curious track	F
In mud at the water's edge	Q
And there amid the sedge	Q
And slime they gobble and peer	P
Saying 'Quack quack '	-

III	-
	-
When God had finished the stars and whirl of coloured suns	C
He turned His mind from big things to fashion little ones	C
Beautiful tiny things like daisies He made and then	R
He made the comical ones in case the minds of men	R
Should stiffen and become	S
Dull humourless and glum	S
And so forgetful of their Maker be	T
As to take even themselves quite seriously	T
Caterpillars and cats are lively and excellent puns	C
All God's jokes are good even the practical ones	C
And as for the duck think God must have smiled a bit	U
Seeing those bright eyes blink on the day He fashioned it	U
And he's probably laughing still at the sound that came out of its bill	O
