I have my daily calls on every side,

Churches remote and glebe and pasture wide,

Great herds of breeding cattle, ghostly sheep—

All to be watched and cared for, clipt and fed,

Grain to be winnowed, compost to be spread;—

Wanted all day in shippon and in stall,

What time have I to serve the “Ideal” withal?

Falk.

Then get you home with what dispatch you may,

Creep snugly in before the winter-cold;
