Sleepers in rivers

 Sleepers in the river

Leaving their wake

Mourners in silver

Walking in moonlight 


Sleepers in the river

Catch them before they wake

Jumper lack the shivers 

Lumper jacks make

Timbers for archers

Whose aim must be straight


Flying fletchers

And fledglings flake

At the thought of jumping 

From a great height

But sleepers in rivers

Leave them til they wake
