But at length she stood still

On the top of the hill

Where old farmer Jonas has set up his mill;

And pointing below,

Said, 'There you must go,

To hear and see things which concern you to know.'

Then turning my head I beheld a faint, dim light,

Which told me that some one was robbing old grim Night,

And making my mind up to see what was doing,

I asked the young lady if she would go too in.
