The Reverend Bartholomew Mole
Is a short-sighted, kind hearted soul.
His dwellings are found, under the ground,
And are entered by means of a hole.
On fine mornings he comes to his door
Often tempted to stroll on the moor.
Let us then pray that he won't go astray,
For his eye-sight is terribly poor.

Le bon révérend Bartholomew
Est sacrément court de vue.
Sa demeure se trouve
Où la taupinière s'ouvre,
Et on y entre simplement
Par un trou.
Par beau matin il vient se montrer
Souvent tenté de se balader.
Gardons donc notre foi
Qu'il suive la bonne voie
Pour que jamais
Il n'aille s'égarer.
