| WHILE joy gave clouds the light of stars, | |
| That beamed where'er they looked; | |
| And calves and lambs had tottering knees, | |
| Excited, while they sucked; | |
| |
| While every bird enjoyed his song, | 5 |
| Without one thought of harm or wrong— | |
| I turned my head and saw the wind, | |
| Not far from where I stood, | |
| Dragging the corn by her golden hair, | |
| Into a dark and lonely wood. | 10 |
