[The brook from its fountain rock drop after drop]
The brook from its fountain rock drop after dropMutterd lonly & hid on its half buried way
Were shades on each side grew & met at the top
& made it seem night in the midst of the day
The dove hid her there were its foes rarly pass
Far away from the haunts of the rude netterd boy
& the brown bee its honey hurds in the tall grass
Were the mower neer comes with a scythe to destroy
