Henry's Goat's Blog Part 22 - It's Midsummer's Eve 20 June 2007
It's the time of the year when we head for the moors; Ascending the hillsides, all marching in fours. It's Midsummer's Eve, and the Chorus of Goats Are leaving the plains, with their farms and their moats, To gather together, assembled in flocks, On summits and peaks, on crags and on rocks. The crowds come to listen, rejoicing to hear The Chorus of Goats sing in concert, each year. We sing from the hilltops, we sing from the heart, We sing to the dawn. When we're ready to start I give them a C from the depths of my throat. (They all of them know I'm 'The Goat with the Note'.)
You never have heard such a magical sound: The Chorus of Goats singing out all around. Just hark at the harmony, filling the air With music so joyful, with melody fair. The climax is when, just before we all leave, That Goat sings a solo, a recitative. It's time, after that, for us all to depart; We send you away with a song in your heart. The Chorus of Goats have delighted your ear With music to hold for the rest of the year.
