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