Young Person Digs a Hole (for no reason)

Rachel's digging a hole near a large beech tree

for exactly no reason at all, at all

for exactly no reason at all.

What could cause a person adrift in the day, to sit by a beech tree digging away?

There's a story of old that I've often been told

Of a bulb near a tree and a hole that was free.  Well it happened to be

that an accident came to befall, befall

that an accident came to befall.

It's not totally clear, but the bulb drew near and the very next year

at the onset of spring, a flower-like thing

grew strong and grew yellow and tall, and tall

grew strong and grew yellow and tall.
