The smithy, where there glows and wanes

Fire, at the bidding of the bellows.

A-tip-toe at the infrequent shops

Toys or tin kettles he appraises,

Seeds in bright packets, lollipops,

Through the dim oriels' greenish glazes:

Then with two sturdy hands he shakes

The stripling sycamore that dapples

With shade the side-walk and awakes

Some ancient memory of apples.
