i can remember only a small sample. i too learnt it at school...28yrs ago

As by a crystal brooklet I wandered on my way,

among the gentle ripples I spied a trout at play.

and here and there he darted , as swift as swift could be,

was never a fish so lively and frolicsome as he .

As by a crystal brooklet,

I wandered on my way

Among the gentle ripples

I spied a trout at play

As here and there he darted

As swift as swift could be

Was never fish so lively

Nor frolicsome as he.

Was never fish so lively

Nor frolicsome as he.

But skillful was the angler

With cruel delight

He sullied all the crystal water

And hid the fish from sight

Alas, by that deception

The fish, the enticing bait, sought out

And I was left lamenting

The fate of that poor trout.

And I was left lamenting

The fate of that poor trout.
