I thought the Convent never would appear;
It seemed to move away from us: and yet,
That you are thus the fault is mine; for the air
Was soft and warm, no dew lay on the grass,
And midway on the waste ere night had fallen
I spied a Covert walled and roofed with sods--
A miniature; belike some Shepherd-boy,
Who might have found a nothing-doing hour
Heavier than work, raised it: within that hut
We might have made a kindly bed of heath,
And thankfully there rested side by side
Wrapped in our cloaks, and, with

Have hailed the morning sun.

To him

The birds brought auguries on their wings,
And carolled undeceiving things
Him to beckon, him to warn;

To learn of scribe or courier
Things writ in vaster character;

Soft shadows of the evening lay.
