Larking

Along the bank when tides are low

In search of treasure, they’ll go.

To see what the river carries –

Wonderous finds, which always varies:

Broken clay pipes, coins of gold –

From the river our history is told.

While mudlarks are often wet and cold.

They bring to life the things of old.
