And the milkmaid's song and the mower's scythe
And the matin-bell and the

Fireflies were quenched on the dewy corn,
Glow-worms went out on the river's brim,
Like lamps which a student forgets to trim:
The beetle forgot to wind his horn,
The crickets were still in the meadow and hill: _25
Like a flock of rooks at a farmer's gun
Night's dreams and terrors, every one,
Fled from the brains which are their prey
From the lamp's death to the morning ray.

Ran a goat farm half-way down the mountain;
He drove a covered wagon years ago,

Shot grouse, buffalo, Indians, in a single year,
And now was raising goats around a shanty.

Fast tethered to a tree an ass, that stood
Lazily winking his large, limpid eyes.
