It clatters and it reels.

Haste, Elves, and turn yon mountain burn—

Bring streams that shine like siller;

The dam is down, the moon sinks soon,

And I maun grind my miller.

Ha! bravely done, my wanton Elves,

That is a foaming stream:

See how the dust from the mill flies,

And chokes the cold moon-beam.

Haste, Fairies, fleet come baptized feet,
