The Wind in the Willows, chapter II, part 1: The Open Road (the Ducks' Ditty, and a visit to Toad Hall), sentence 19

The last verse: «High in the blue above Swifts whirl and call— We are down a-dabbling Uptails all!» So «Up tails all!» comes twice: at the end of the first verse and as the very last line.

Who acts: Swifts, We, last verse · What happens: whirl, call, be, come · To what, where: end · Speech: someone speaks here
