Three Strange but True Rustic Tales

from The Room in the Tower by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

I: The Well in the Wall:

In Checkely in a spring of remarkable character:
The Well in the Wall
So denominated as it rises from underneath a wall
made of weathered sandstone
old tradition says it throws out small bones
all year round
except July and August
resembling those of sparrows and pigeons.

II: The Secret in the Chateau:

Chained to the wall in the cellar of the ancient
chateau of Caudeval -
two vast antiquated earthen amphorae
and a document insisting
they must never be
unchained.

III: An Account of a Prodigious Apparition:

Casually observing as the gardener cleared the weeds
from the long-forgotten path leading to the forest
when out of the woods stepped a being of astonishing appearance
with combined features of a great and shaggy fox
and human being.
It said something we couldn't understand
and simply faded away.
