Or briery fallows, like a mighty room,

Through which the winds swing censers of perfume,

And where deep blackberries spread miles of fruit;—

A splendid feast, that stayed the ploughboy's foot

When to the tasseling acres of the corn

He drove his team, fresh in the primrose morn;

And from the liberal banquet, nature lent,

Took dewy handfuls as he whistling went.—

A boy once more, I stand with sunburnt feet

And watch the harvester sweep down the wheat;
