Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,

And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;

3. Save that, from yonder ivy-mantled tower,

The moping owl does to the moon complain

Of such as, wandering near her secret bower,

Molest her ancient, solitary reign.

4. Beneath those rugged elms, that ewe-tree’s shade,

Where heaves the turf in many a moldering heap,

Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,

The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
