—you see
Nestled into a hollow of the downs,
Where sheep stray widely o'er the short green turf,
A little gray-wall'd church with lichen'd roof;
A farmyard and a huge old barn whose stacks
O'er-top the spire, the farmhouse lattices
Embower'd with vine; a figtree'd garden wall;
And one clump of rook-nested elms above
Gables and red tiled roofs and twisted chimneys.
