Far above the shrill wind's wail;--

And aye so fond they of their singing seem
That in their holes abed at close of day
They still keep piping in their honey dreams,
And larger ones that thrum on ruder pipe
Round the sweet smelling closen and rich woods
Where tawny white and red flush clover buds
Shine bonnily and bean fields blossom ripe,
Shed dainty
perfumes
and give honey food
To these sweet poets of the summer fields;
Me much delighting as I stroll along
The narrow path that hay laid meadow yields,
Catching the windings of their wandering song.

"I wondered what on earth they were,
That looked all head and sack;
But Mother told me not to stare,
And then she
twitched
me by the hair,
And punched me in the back.

Children
sturdy and flaxen
Shouting in brotherly strife,
Like the land they are Saxon,
Sons of a man and his wife,--
For a man and his loves make a man and his life.

You would have snared me,
and
scattered
the strands of my nest;
but the very fact that you saw,
sheltered me, claimed me,
set me apart from the rest.
