[DEEP WAYS AND DRIPPING BOUGHS]

Deep ways and dripping boughs,

The fog falling drearily;

Cowherds calling on their cows,

And I crying wearily,

Wearily, wearily, out-a-door,

Houseless, hearthless, coatless, kindless,

Poorest of the wandering poor.

I am the beggar Christ—

Christ that calmed the castling flood!
