Safe across the moorland
Travellers may go,
If they need our warning
We're the ones who know!

Let the footpath guide you
You'll be safely led;
There is bog beside you
Where you cannot tread!

Mind where you are going!
If you turn aside
Where you see us growing,
Trouble will betide.

Keep you to the path, then!
Hark to what we say!
Else, into the quagmire
You will surely stray.
