<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">The fiddler played upon his fiddle<br/></span>
<span class="i1">All through that leafy June,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">He always played hey-diddle-diddle,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And played it out of tune.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">And down the hill the children came,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And down the valley too:<br/></span>
<span class="i0">I never heard the fiddler's name,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">So cannot tell it you.<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Hey-diddle-diddle, diddle-diddle-dee.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">On—on they came, and when they heard<br/></span>
<span class="i1">That tune so swift and sweet,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">They did not say a single word,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">But shuffled with their feet.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Then round they went, and round and round,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">All to that cracked old fiddle,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And still was heard the magic sound,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Hey-diddle-diddle-diddle,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Hey-diddle-diddle, diddle-diddle-dee.<br/></span></div>
