My father was the whipper-in, -
 Is still - if I’m not misled?
And now I see, where the hedge is thin,
  A little spot of red;
  Surely it is my father
  Going to the kennel-shed!
“I cursed and fought my father - aye,
  And sailed to a foreign land;
And feeling sorry, I’m back, to stay,
  Please God, as his helping hand.
  Surely it is my father
  Near where the kennels stand?”
“ - True. Whipper-in he used to be
  For twenty years or more;
And you did go away to sea
  As youths have done before.
  Yes, oddly enough that red there
  Is the very coat he wore.
“But he - he’s dead; was thrown somehow,
  And gave his back a crick,
And though that is his coat, ‘tis now
  The scarecrow of a rick;
  You’ll see when you get nearer -
  ’Tis spread out on a stick.
 Is still - if I’m not misled?
And now I see, where the hedge is thin,
  A little spot of red;
  Surely it is my father
  Going to the kennel-shed!
“I cursed and fought my father - aye,
  And sailed to a foreign land;
And feeling sorry, I’m back, to stay,
  Please God, as his helping hand.
  Surely it is my father
  Near where the kennels stand?”
“ - True. Whipper-in he used to be
  For twenty years or more;
And you did go away to sea
