How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and other wood-cuts/The Elk; The Whelk

From Wikisource
The Elk. The Whelk.

A roar of welkome through the welkin
Is certain proof you'll find the Elk in;
But if you listen to the shell,
In which the Whelk is said to dwell,
And hear a roar, beyond a doubt
It indicates the Whelk is out.
