66 A clover tuft is pillow for my head,

And violets quite overtop my shoes.

And now the cordial clouds have shut all in,

And gently swells the wind to say all 's well;

The scattered drops are falling fast and thin,

Some in the pool, some in the flower-bell.

I am well drenched upon my bed of oats;

But see that globe come rolling down its stem,

Now like a lonely planet there it floats,

And now it sinks into my garment's hem.

Drip, drip the trees for all the country round,

And richness rare distils from every bough;

The wind alone it is makes every sound,

Shaking down crystals on the leaves below.
